The National Association of Npower Beneficiaries Has Reached Out To Several Media Outlets To Seek Their Involvement Regarding The Unpaid Stipends

The National Association of Npower Beneficiaries has reached out to various media outlets, including Channels TV, Arise TV, and Brekete Radio, to request a platform to discuss their unpaid stipends, which have been delayed for 9-12 months, according to Npower News. The association hopes that this approach will help bring their concerns to the attention of the Presidency and lead to the lifting of the suspension on the Npower program, allowing all beneficiaries nationwide to receive their overdue payments.

The suspension was implemented by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in January 2024, following allegations of misappropriation of public funds within the Ministry for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation. Since then, the program has remained on hold, and beneficiaries across the country are appealing to the President to revoke the suspension to enable them to receive their stipends.

Additionally, the National Chairman of the Npower Niger State Chapter, Comrade Kehinde James, plans to visit the Office of the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation tomorrow to ensure that the letter submitted by the association is approved and a meeting with the Ministry is arranged.
