President Bola Tinubu has approved the payment of backlog of arrears to 400,000 N-power beneficiaries across the country.
The payment commencement was sequel to a verification exercise initiated and concluded by the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.
Announcing the release of funds, the minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr Betta Edu, appreciated President Tinubu for the gesture.
Ms Edu said President Tinubu’s interest in Nigeria youths is evidenced in his numerous policies and programmes of his administration largely tailored toward providing opportunities for them.
”I stayed awake with the N-power team till 3am at the office to ensure N-power beneficiaries get paid before Christmas in line with the directive of the President.
“Now, I can confirm to you the payment of N-Power beneficiaries have commenced and the evidence is in their account Merry Christmas” the minister said.
