The Federal House of Representatives has ordered an investigation into allegations of random disengagement and non-payment of monthly stipends to beneficiaries, that have trailed the popular N-Power programme.
It would be recalled that last week Wednesday, Sadiya Umar Farouq, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development alongside the N-Power team led by Afolabi Imukhuede, the senior special assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on job creation and youth empowerment, attended an investigative hearing on the scheme at the green chamber of the National Assembly.
On Saturday 22nd of February 2020, according to TVC News, relevant Committees said thousands of beneficiaries alleged they are owed the N30,000 monthly stipend while also being unfairly disengaged.

Many graduate beneficiaries of the N-Power scheme – one of the components of the National Social Investment Programmes (NSIPs) – often take to social media to cry out concerning delay in their periodical stipend.
This online news medium had earlier reported that beneficiaries are fuming over what they describe as “habitual delay of their monthly stipends” by the N-Power scheme.
Since the scheme was transferred to Hajia Farouq’s ministry, getting paid as and when due has been a big problem.
