NPower News January 2024: Stipend Payment Update RHJCP Recruitment Updates 

 

Why NPower Beneficiaries Are Calling For The Return Of Mr Afolabi

In today’s Latest Npower News, the NPower Volunteers Across the Nation are calling on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to return Mr Afolabi Imoukhuede to Head N-Power program again.

In a post circulating on social media, the beneficiaries of the Npower program appeals to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to please bring back Mr Afolabi Imoukhuede to head the N-Power program.

According to them, when Mr Afolabi Imoukhuede was the head of NPower program from 2016 to June, 2020, the Batch A and B Volunteers had a transparent selection process without knowing anybody and payment are been paid directly on monthly basis to the Beneficiaries without any delay.

The program was also successful under his leadership because of his dedication and passion to build the Youth and also ensured the right set of people benefited directly until the program was hijacked by selfish politicians who doesn’t care about the masses.

Batch C stream 1 and 2 have been in total mess since the program have been hijacked by bad leadership and if the Renewed Hope N-Power program must succeed again under NSIPA to achieve it purpose, then we need a trusted, tested, dedicated, passionate person like Mr Afolabi Imoukhuede to head this program again, the Prospective Npower volunteers and beneficiaries demanded.

 

₦‎585m Scandal: SERAP Threatens Legal Action If Tinubu Fails To Probe Betta Edu

Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, (SERAP), has threatened to sue President Bola Ahmed Tinubu if he fails to probe the alleged payment of N585,189,500.00 into a private account by the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu.

Kolawole Oluwadare, Deputy Director of SERAP, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.

GOLDENNEWSNG had reported that Betta Edu confirmed disbursing N585,189,500.00 meant for vulnerable people in Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Lagos, and Ogun states into a private account.

However, Edu insisted that the payment followed due process.

Meanwhile, SERAP said that the minister’s action was against Chapter 7, Section 713 of the Federal Government’s Financial Regulations 2009, which notes, ‘Personal money shall in no circumstances be paid into a government bank account, nor shall any public money be paid into a private account’.

Accordingly, SERAP urged Tinubu to direct the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr Lateef Fagbemi, and appropriate anti-corruption agencies to promptly and thoroughly conduct a probe.

“We would be grateful if the recommended measures are taken within 7 days of the receipt and/or publication of this letter. If we have not heard from you by then, SERAP shall consider appropriate legal actions to compel your government to comply with our request in the public interest”.

Recall that Accountant-General of the Federation, Oluwatoyin Madein, said Edu was not supposed to make N585,198,500.00 into a private account.

The Latest NPower News As of Today, 4th January 2024, is that the EFCC is Set To Arrest Former Minister Sadiya Umar-Farouq Over Alleged N37.1 Billion Fraud

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is planning to arrest the former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development, Sadiya Umar Farouq.

An EFCC investigator mentioned that the team had to end their workday at 6 pm since the former minister did not show up. A senior EFCC official stated that they might arrest her within the week if she does not voluntarily appear for questioning.

Sadiya Umar Farouq could not be reached for comments, and her former media aide did not respond to calls and messages. In related news, the suspended National Co-ordinator and CEO of the National Social Investment Programme Agency, Halima Shehu, who was arrested over the N27.1 billion fraud probe, has spent a second night in detention. Shehu, formerly in charge of the Conditional Cash Transfer Programme during Umar-Farouk’s tenure, was indicted in connection with the alleged fraud.
