Beneficiaries of the Federal Government’s N-Power scheme are still complaining about non-payment of their January stipend, 15 days into new month as seen below, Afriupdate reports.
It is believed now that there is no vote of confidence in the head of the Npower programme. You could agree that, since the ministry was created there is always one story to the other on monthly stipend.#Pay Npower Beneficiaries now @Sadiya_farouq @FMHDSD @npower_ng @nassnigeria

The situation has left the volunteers furious with the government, as their pay is usually delayed.
One beneficiary identified as Jibrin Ibrahim had lamented the delayed payment on Twitter on Friday.
Replying to Ibrahim, the official account of the Job Creation and youth Empowerment scheme of the Nigerian Government offered their apology.
Apologies for the delay, payment will commence shortly.
