The Federal Government has announced that the long-awaited backlog in payments to N-Power beneficiaries will finally commence in November.
The development comes as part of the Renewed Hope Job Creation Programme (RHJCP) initiated by President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Akindele Egbuwalo, the National Programme Manager of N-Power, confirmed this during a meeting with some N-Power beneficiaries on Monday, October 16.
According to Egbuwalo, the payments will be made in installments.
He stressed that the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation has successfully recovered funds from the existing payment service providers.
He said:
“The good news is that the funds have been recovered and you will be getting your money soon. Payment for N-Power Beneficiaries Batch C who have been owed for eight months will begin soon.
“These irregularities have made the common man to lose faith in the ability of Government to provide social safety cover for its population but Dr Betta Edu is engaging all necessary steps to resolve these issues and deliver the Renewed Hope Mandate of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Nigerians.
“Many irregularities which hitherto had sabotaged the smooth implementation of the Program are being addressed.
“It would be recalled that on assumption of duty it was noted that many beneficiaries did not receive payment for their monthly allowances while monies were being held up by the consultant managing the enrollment and payment system whose contract had long expired.”
