The Job Creation and Empowerment Initiative of the Social Investment Programme of the Nigerian Government, on Monday, restated that the famed N-Power scheme was moved to the newly-created Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development in October last year "for institutionalization", AllNews reports.
The National Social Investment Programmes NSIP (an initiative the N-Power scheme is one of its elements), which was formerly under the office of the vice-president, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo and managed by Hajia Maryam Uwais, Special Adviser to the president on social intervention, was moved to the ministry of humanitarian affairs, disaster management, and social development on October 1, 2019.
It would be recalled that N-Power beneficiaries often accuse Sadiya Farouq, the minister of Humanitarian Affairs of 'unnecessarily' delaying their monthly stipends. In fact, as at the time of publishing this report, they have not been paid for April.
But reacting to the beneficiaries’ displeasure; N-Power says President Muhammadu Buhari made that telling decision in 2019 'so that other young Nigerians can benefit from the programme
