N-Power Beneficiaries Write President Tinubu
The N-Power Batch “C” participants, in a letter written by their spokesperson Gbadebo Adesiyan, expressed that not receiving their regular payments has caused significant distress and hardship for the many unemployed Nigerian graduates included in the program.
The Batch “C” of N-Power beneficiaries sent a letter to President Bola Tinubu, urgently seeking help. They are unhappy that they haven’t received their monthly payments for the past eight months.
According to Adesiyan, no N-Power Batch “C” beneficiary has been paid any money from January to July of this year. As August, the eighth month, comes to a close, this situation has left beneficiaries uncertain and sad about their financial situation.
Adesiyan explained that the reason for the payment delay is the claim that funds for these unpaid months have not been approved or sent to the National Social Investment Management System (NASIMS) account by the presidency.
The letter expressed a strong concern for the ongoing issue and implored the President to act quickly to address the problem and restore the trust of the Nigerian people in the government’s dedication to their well-being.
Throughout the year, starting from January to July 2023, beneficiaries have not received any stipends. This has caused a lot of financial uncertainty and sadness among them.
The situation became worse when an unreliable validation process was introduced. Many beneficiaries faced difficulties trying to validate their accounts, preventing them from accessing the stipends they rely on. Even those who managed to complete the validation process have not received any payments.
As a result, beneficiaries are struggling to meet their basic needs and support their families. The unpaid stipends were meant to help them financially and contribute to the economy. However, the prolonged delay has made their already difficult situations even worse, pushing them deeper into poverty and despair.
A Glimpse into Big Plans for NPower and Other Government Help Programs
Guess what? The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu, spilled the beans on what President Bola Tinubu is thinking about NPower and other government programs that give help.
A news person asked if the special programs that were already there, like NPower, will stay or if new ones will come in. Dr. Edu, the Minister, explained:
“We want to bring in fresh ideas for these programs. But the old ones were really good. We’re going to make some parts even better and look into what went wrong before. We’ll also lend a hand to more people. Our goal is to make more jobs and offer support to families living in faraway places in Nigeria where folks don’t get much help. So, we’re trying to lessen how many people are poor. We’re also starting a fund to help out, and we’re going to get more resources to give folks in Nigeria a hand.”
Good News: NPower Payments are Still Happening with the New Minister
Even though there’s a new Minister now, the money (stipends) for NPower is still coming in. Here’s what’s up!
Npower Nasims put out a message on social media that they’re still sending out the money from 2022. This news came out when the new Minister started her job.
Remember, the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation got a new Minister, Dr. Betta Chimaobim Edu. She started a few days ago in Abuja. She wants to make things better for 136 million poor Nigerians.
Nasims said they’re now giving money to Category 2 people (C2).
If you want to see if your payment is on the way, you can check on the Nasims website.
If you’re waiting for your money, it might be because they’re checking your account to make sure everything is right. So, just hold on for a bit.
Nasims also fixed most of the stuff that was missing on the self-service website. So, you can find updates there.
Looking Back: Checking on the Old Minister
The new Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu, said the government wants to take a look at what the old Minister, Hajia Sadiya Umar Farouq, did.
They want to see how the money for people in NPower, young folks without jobs, and poor citizens was used.
While they’re looking into that, the new Minister made a promise. She said she’ll pay all the money that’s late to people in NPower. This shows that the new government is serious about making sure things are done right.
Moving Forward with a Brighter Future
So, what’s next on the horizon? Well, it’s all about making things better step by step.
The Minister, Dr. Betta Edu, is all about finding new and smart ideas to help people even more. She believes that the old programs were good, but there’s always room to make them even more helpful. By looking at what didn’t work before, the government aims to fix those things and make the programs stronger. And that’s not all – they want to reach out to even more people who need help.
One of the big goals is to create more jobs. Jobs mean that people can work and earn money to take care of their families. Especially in faraway places in Nigeria where help might not have reached as much, the government wants to bring positive change. This is all part of their plan to reduce the number of people who are struggling with poverty.
And guess what? They’re not just talking about it – they’re taking action! They’re setting up a fund to provide support, and they’re gathering more resources to lend a helping hand to people all across Nigeria.
No Interruption in NPower Support
Even when there’s a change in who’s in charge, the good things keep on going. The payments (those special amounts of money) for NPower are still coming through. Npower Nasims, the folks who manage this, made it clear that they’re sending out the money for the year 2022. This announcement came right as the new Minister, Dr. Betta Chimaobim Edu, began her work.
Imagine, she’s only been on the job for a short while, but she’s already taking action to make life better for an incredible 136 million poor Nigerians. That’s a lot of people!
Npower Nasims is also making sure they’re reaching out to Category 2 people (they call them C2). If you’re curious whether your money is on the way, you can hop onto the Nasims website and see for yourself.
And for those who are waiting for their payment, no worries. Sometimes it takes a bit of time to make sure everything is just right before the money arrives. So, patience is key.
Learning from the Past for a Fair Future
Looking back can be helpful. The new Minister, Dr. Betta Edu, is keen on making sure everything is fair and right. They want to check how the money was used by the old Minister, Hajia Sadiya Umar Farouq. This is about making sure the money meant for NPower Beneficiaries, young people without jobs, and citizens facing difficulties was used properly.
While they’re sorting that out, Minister Edu is promising that anyone who should have gotten money before but didn’t will still get it. This is a big commitment that shows the new government is all about being honest and making sure things are done well.
In the grand scheme of things, this is a journey toward a brighter future for Nigeria. With a mix of fresh ideas, steady support, and learning from past experiences, the government is working towards a more prosperous and inclusive nation. And for the people who rely on programs like NPower, these announcements and actions hold the promise of positive change that will make a real difference in their lives.
