Dear Sir/Madam,
DELAY OF PAYMENT AND POSTING OF LAGOS NPOWER VOLUNTEER CORPS MEMBERS
Permit us to start this letter with this words: " We firmly believe that one of the primary responsibilities of government is to implement poverty alleviation program that lift millions of our citizens out of poverty and to use the resources at its disposal to create safety nets for the poor and vulnerable youth in our society". "Every Nigerian should not live below the minimum standard".- Senator Ashafa
N-Power is a Federal Government’s project in the economic, employment and social development areas. N-Power addresses the challenges of youth unemployment by providing a structure for large scale and relevant work skills acquisition and development while linking its core and outcomes to fix inadequate public services and stimulating the larger economy.
Npower Focus areas are: Teaching, Health, Agriculture, Vocational, Technology, Community Service, Post Production and Animation.
The N-Power assessment commenced on September 21, 2016 for all candidates and lasted till October 31, 2016. This was an online aptitude test carried out to determine candidates that will be needed by the agency to undertake the N-Power programme.
After the conclusion of the online assessment test. selection process commenced and was implemented leaving LAGOS STATE with over 11,000 applicants.
After the selection process across board, verification exercise commenced since December 2016. The Npower Lagos State verification exercise was serially delayed by the authorities, for no just reason, while applicants from other states were duly verified in December 2016,
This ugly situation rose to a peaceful protest to the State House of Assembly in Alausa by the applicants in January 2017, the protesters were able to pass their message and The Speaker, Rt. Hon Mudashiru Obasa, together with some other members addressed the applicants on the subject matter. The Speaker, Rt.Hon Mudashiru Obasa, however, urged the coordinator to ensure that Lagos State is not short-changed while carrying out the directive of the Federal Government and to also make sure that applicants from the state are paid their December and January stipends.
As a result, verification commenced and Npower Lagos State Applicants were duly verified in all the Local Government Areas.
Post-verification, as other states were duly paid their N30,000 stipends of December and January outstanding, Lagos State Npower Applicants didn't get further notification from the authorities nor was the outstanding December and January stipends paid, till date.
In the same vein, Lagos State Npower beneficiary were left out from all activities of Npower program which include deployment, verified stamp (on our portal) and device selection on our online portal were not accessible. This called for our attention that our verified list has not been sent to abuja yet and if it had been sent, there shouldn't be any reason for the colossal delay in deployment, payment and device selection. Selection of device from the portal is on-going across the nation with an exclusion of Lagos State from this process. Most of us are sitting at home doing nothing because of the trust we have in federal government regarding this scheme.
*We have however decided to resolve into protest come Monday 27th February. Since it seems this is the only language that the LASG understand and if it will help table our grievances, we have no other choice than to protest against our exclusion from the scheme.*
On this note we are imploring the Lagos state government in the best interest of her mandate and the nation at large to use the power of your exalted office to unravel the mystery surrounding Npower Lagos State regular delay, non-communication, exclusion, injustice and non-engagement as we believe in the good intention of the Federal Government on the Npower Program.
Yours Faithfully,
Concerned (OVER) 11,000 Lagos Npower Applicants

Good move.

how can we get this across to any of the newspaper house?

I was watching the NTA news last night and the station went on a commercial break, only for ♍e to see Npower advert! This government claimed to have employed and engaged 200,000 unemployed graduates! I was like jisox! Are u kidding ♍e? Oh u must really be "kidney" ♍e! How many people have they employed and engaged? In the whole of lagos state, no npower applicant has been employed or engaged as far as am concerned! Even in other states complaint everywhere! Its too early for all these lies in your attempt to score political points ahead of 2019 when we haven't actually benefited frm the program

another bullshit, nothing is stopping our protest on Monday, the WAPA abi Werey can go to hell. @bolded before nko, abi na their ancestors them wan pay?

We are ready for the protest and I can assure you guys nothing even the Governor's letter at this time can not and will not make us back down until we see the Governor himself with our physical eyes to address us.
Pls note that our movement will start from 7up bottling company, then we take off from there and march to TVC, there after we move from there to LTV before we'll now march singing solidarity song to Alausa where we will move to seek the audience of our inactive focal person to address us for the first time. Then we'll move to Lagos state house of Assembly to drop our letter with them. We then finally move to Governor's office where we will hear the final speech from the Governor himself.
I want to believe at the end of this peaceful demonstration, the state Government and the federal Govt will have no choice than to hasten up the process. I will say again at this time that for the success of this protest, we need to come out emass to fight for our right, that is when this demonstration will be effective. We are not going to destroy Government properties but we re peacefully going to tell them enough is enough, we need answer to some certain question which will be drafted later today. On behalf of all the admis and the leaders of the Npower in Lagos, I wish everyone of us success in this peaceful demonstration come Monday 27th Feb 2017.
2 DAYS TO GO
PROTEST LOADING...

enough is enough! we cant continue waiting on failing promises.We are protesting on monday by force.

N-power Lagos
Please note the following during the protest;
1. All protesters must dress decently and well behaved
2. Let's avoid any sharp object that could undermined the success of this demonstration
3. All protesters must come with at least one cardboard with a decent and respectful write up that covers our objectives which are; stipend, posting and Governor's intervention.
4. Avoid using the protest venue as a means of retaliating on someone that might have offended you in the group chat as this could cause confusion among protesters.
5. There should be unity and love among us all.
6. It becomes necessary to come out enmass to achieve success at the end of this demonstration.
7. All LG must be well represented during the protest.
9. Avoid trying to damage/destroy government properties and behave like mature and responsible graduate.
10. We must be determined and optimistic about this demonstration as this will help us work together both inwardly and outwardly to achieve our goals.
11. Avoid confrontation when Government officials are addressing us.
Our sincere hope and believe is that if we can work in line with this guides or should I say principles, not only are we gonna have peaceful protest, we will equally have achieve great success at the end of this demonstration.
