The Federal Government has revealed Why Npower beneficiaries have not been paid.
The Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development, made this known in a statement, saying it did not pay 14,020 NPower Enrollees in the concluded batches of Npower programme because the affected beneficiaries’ account details were found to be already existing in other ministries, departments, and agencies. The government which noted that the actions of the enrollees were against the established rule of the N-Power programme, regretted that the development affected some real and eligible beneficiaries.
Onyxnews Nigeria reports that management of Npower is looking into the irregularities with Beneficiaries pay in order to solve them soon.
