FG Sacks 2,525 N-power Beneficiaries, Warns Against Acts Of Indiscipline. by NokiaN8(m): 7:47am On Jul 25, 2019 |
The Federal Government has approved the disengagement of 2, 525
beneficiaries of the N- Power Programme for absconding from their
primary place of assignment.
It also warned that acts of dereliction of duty, indolence, absenteeism
and indiscipline on the part of volunteers would continue to be dealt
with decisively and in line with the rules of engagement .
The N- Power Programme was
introduced in 2016
by the President
Buhari
Administration as
a job
enhancement
scheme aimed at
imbibing the
learn - work -
entrepreneurship
culture in
Nigerian youth
between 18 and 35
for graduates and non- graduates.
About 500 ,000 youth , spread across the 774 Local Government Areas
of the country are currently enrolled in the programme and have
since been deployed to teach in public schools, act as health workers
in primary health centres , as agricultural extension advisors to
smallholder farmers in the communities and also as community tax
liaison officers .
Beneficiaries under the graduate category take home N30, 000
monthly for their services .
Confirming the development , the Communications Manager , National
Social Investment Office, Justice Bibiye said that 18,674 other
beneficiaries of the initiative have voluntarily resigned , having
secured permanent employment.
He said, “ It had earlier come to the notice of the Federal team that
some of the N - Power beneficiaries had either absconded from their
primary places of assignment or gained permanent employment
subsequent to their commencement on the programme .
“ The Federal team has continued to encourage feedback from the
states from existing monitors, whistleblowers and members of the
public through it ’ s existing call centre and has acted swiftly by
initially placing such beneficiaries on suspension for a period of 45
days.
“ Unless such beneficiaries are able to provide proof from their
primary place of assignment and the state focal person that they were
actually present, or absent with reason , their participation in the
programme is terminated after the period of suspension.
“ So far , 2, 525
beneficiaries have been
delisted , following
reports garnered from
the various avenues ,
whilst 18,674 have
voluntarily resigned,
having secured
permanent
employment .”
He said in a statement
that reports from a few
states , however ,
showed that some beneficiaries of the programme are said to have
stayed away for long periods of time from their primary places of
assignment, adding that this has led to the need for continued action
against those who are seen to be undermining the smooth
implementation of the Federal Government social intervention
initiative .
To ensure seamless execution of the programme in order to achieve
the set goals , he said the NSIO has increased the number of
monitoring partners . |
