FG and N-Power beneficiaries
Humanitarian ministry’s Deputy Director, Information, Rhoda Iliya, said the exit of the volunteers would commence on June 30 and July 31 respectively for batches and , adding that the volunteers in both batches are not eligible to participate in the new application process.The N-Power programme was inaugurated by President Buhari in 2016 with thousands of beneficiaries across the key industries targeted by the programme – agriculture, health, education, and tax.
The federal government cannot be accused of bad faith with the plan to disengage these volunteers. The fact is that this was known to the participants right from inception. As we all know, it is better to not experience a luxury at all than experience it for a short period of time. These are people who got used to earning money monthly and some of them have started raising families, solely depending on the stipend they receive.
Finally, the federal government should put in place sophisticated methods to ensure that all rooms for manoeuvre are blocked so that the outgoing beneficiaries are not able to reapply.
