N-power: 3 Reasons Why Most NPower Volunteers Were Not Paid Their Backlogs

NPower Latest Update & News: The following are some reasons why over 14,000, NPower Volunteers were not paid their N-Power backlogs

1) The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Farouq, the Minister responsible for the NPower Program, last year directed those affected N-Power Volunteers to report to their various State Focal Persons for verification and re-validation, it seems this directive was not obeyed by most NPower Batch A and NPower Batch B volunteers.

2) The directive was given by the Minister for Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development as part of efforts to resolve unpaid NPower stipends withheld due to discrepancies in records of the NPower beneficiaries, which lots of NPower Volunteers ignored to rectify with their state focal person and respective financial institutions.

3) The Ministry also stated that investigations conducted by the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF) following the omission indicated that some NPower beneficiaries were also getting salaries from other Federal Government Ministries, Departments And Agencies.
