When are we going to received our stipen
This new ministry where n-power is given to should do well to see the beneficiaries as FG workers. Let them pay us as other. We belong to this country. We have no other.
Actually this surprised me, we as FG workers
I want to know if the salary of Npower beneficiaries are not equal,? If the federal government spends 15billion Naira monthly to 500,000, it means some are earning about N500,000 while I know in South east and south south they earn only N30,000
