The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation Dr Betta Edu narrates the Story Behind Unpaid Npower Stipends And Nexit Package in the latest interview.
According to the Minister, when we came on board, we found a lot of issues and baggage in the entire Npower programme.
So first we think more persons were allowed to register for the program beyond the envelope that was provided for the program.
Secondly, funds were released for payment of people under the Npower programme. However, these funds were not paid in a timely manner by the managers of the funds of Npower to the Beneficiaries.
The third and final point is that there are persons who are on the payment list who are not supposed to be there, persons who were there and are not working and have not given any service but just believe that once you are enrolled you will just continue to have payment.
HM Betta Edu added that there are people who there time within the Npower has elapsed since a year ago but they still believe that they should continue to get money. So they said is exit plan, exit fund, exit payment.
President Bola Tinubu Federal Government has rebranded the Npower Programme To Renewed Hope Skills Acquisition Programme.
The new Minister of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty alliviation Dr Betta Edu has been working to restore the lost glory of the Npower programme since she was sworn as Minister.
Lately, the Npower programme which was initiated by the Buhari Administration has received backlash on poor management. The Beneficiaries are being owed 8 months of unpaid stipends.
In view of this, the Honourable Minister stated that the Npower programme has totally been overhauled and will be upgraded so that the Beneficiaries can be truly empowered and Nigeria youths be engaged.
1. Since the current set of the Npower beneficiaries’ terms will come to an end by October 2023, the new Npower Management might exit batch B and clear their outstanding stipend payment.
2. The New Npower management might begin with recruiting a new batch of 2023 Npower volunteers.
3. The stipend payment for the Npower beneficiaries might be reviewed upward or downward to engage more Beneficiaries.
4. The agency under the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation that will be overseeing the Affairs of the Npower programme and other NSIP Programme is the National Social Investment Programme Agency NSIPA managed by Mrs. Bulus
5. Since the new Administration is focusing on creating jobs through the digital economy, the Npower management might try to engage more Npower beneficiaries in that path.
At this stage, the Npower beneficiaries are advised to be patient as the Ministry is rejiggering the programmes under NSIP which Npower belongs. Payment might also be reviewed upward or downward to include more people in the programs.
As regards Nexit Opportunity, there are rumors that new information will soon be given and even those who did not do the training will be asked to submit their business plan and favors will be asked from other companies that have given the training to give the untrained a certificate and give them a business plan to submit.
