N-POWER BENEFICIARIES: Minister Gives Conditions To Receive Payments Or Risk Forfeiture—The beneficiaries of the N-Power programme who were earlier omitted from payment of their stipends are hereby informed to report to their various state Focal Persons for verification and re-validation.
This information is coming from the office of the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Umar Farouq in a statement made on Tuesday as signed by the Special Assistant on Media, Nneka Ikem Anibeze.
This new directive to the Batch A and Batch B beneficiaries is part of the efforts to resolve unpaid stipends withheld, due to discrepancies in records, and to make sure that some beneficiaries drawing salaries from other Federal Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) are stopped.
However, the minister has directed that opportunity be given to the affected beneficiaries to verify and re-validate their eligibility so that qualified beneficiaries can be paid for their participation in the N-Power Programme.
The statement reads in part:
“Beneficiaries are thereby directed to report to their State Focal Persons immediately with their bank account details including bank statements from March 2020 to date, NYSC discharge certificates, birth certificates and other related screening documents.
“The deadline for verification is October 13, 2020. Beneficiaries who fail to attend the verification exercise will forfeit their stipends.”
