The Federal Government has announced its commencement of the payment of arrears of stipends for batches A and B of the 2016 and 2018 volunteers of the N-Power programme.

This was disclosed in a statement by the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development on Friday in Abuja.

The Ministry revealed that the batch payments included the account of 14,021 volunteers flagged in March 2020 by the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS) for various reasons, including beneficiaries holding multiple bank accounts and receiving other payments such as salaries and allowances from multiple Federal Government ministries, department and agencies (MDAs) on permanent employment.

They stated that receiving multiple payments violated the N-Power guidelines, leading to accusations of corruption, and added that after an investigation with other MDAs, accounts of 9,066 volunteers were cleared for final payment.
