According to Npower News today Tuesday June 11th 2024, House of Representatives want the Federal Government to start Npower payment to Npower batch c beneficiaries.

The House of Representatives has called on the Federal Government to start the Npower payment to beneficiaries of Npower batch c and other National Social Investment Programs to reduce the hardship faced by the poor and vulnerable Nigerians.

The suspension of the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation Betta Edu and the sacking of the National Coordinator of the National Social Investment Programmes Agency Ms Halima Shehu have further exacerbated the hardship faced by beneficiaries of Npower batch c, potentially leading to social unrest.

The House of Representatives stressed the need for stability, development, and equitable wealth distribution among citizens of Nigeria.

The House of Representatives also accused the planned steering committee Board overseen by the Minister of Finance, Mr Wale Edun as the National Social Investment Program was an act of Parliament that requires legislative amendment before it could be supervised by another body.

The House of Representatives pleaded with the Federal Government to hasten action to complete the ongoing investigation of the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu and put on hold the planned establishment of the Steering Committee Board to oversee the National Social Investment Programmes.
