Npower News: National Association of Npower Beneficiaries May Consider Legal Action

The National Association of Npower Beneficiaries is seeking a meeting with the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation in the coming days. According to Npower News, the Association plans to propose that if the meeting with the Permanent Secretary and other senior ministry officials does not yield satisfactory results, they will set a two-week deadline for the Ministry to resolve the issue of delayed payments. If, after two weeks, the payments are still not made, the Association will organize a one-day protest to express their dissatisfaction with the ongoing delays. Should the protest fail to bring about a positive outcome, the Association will consider pursuing legal action to address the matter.

Npower News reports that beneficiaries are currently owed stipends for 9 to 12 months and have sent numerous letters to the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation without receiving a response. The beneficiaries are urging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to lift the suspension on the Npower program to enable them to receive their overdue payments.

The National Association of Npower beneficiaries will be submitting three letters to media houses in Abuja today, one letter will be submitted to Channels TV, one to Arise TV and another to Brekete Radio, this letter is a request to have an interview at these media houses so that Npower batch c beneficiaries can air their views regarding the delay in the payment of their stipends.
Although the new Chief Executive Officer of NSIPA Dr Badamasi Lawal is yet to resume he is still undergoing screening at the Senate, but the National Association of Npower beneficiaries cannot wait any longer though a letter has been written to him through the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry for Humanitarian Affairs.

Today’s N-Power update highlights two key initiatives that were anticipated for the N-Power program before its suspension a few months ago. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Before the N-Power program was put on hold, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu, revealed plans to recruit 5 million young people under the renewed Hope N-Power program, as part of the Skill Up Nigeria initiative. More details are available here: "N-Power to Recruit 5 Million Youths Under Skill Up Nigeria Renew Hope."

2. The Minister also disclosed that while the current stipend for beneficiaries is N30,000, there was a proposal to raise the payment to between N50,000 and N60,000 for participants in the renewed Hope N-Power Skill Up Nigeria program. She explained that they were waiting for a consensus on the new minimum wage to adjust the payments accordingly.

3. Additionally, the N-Power program was planned to be restructured by the new management and was expected to restart fully in January 2024, following the completion of this restructuring.

However, these initiatives were stalled due to the program’s suspension amid allegations of corruption involving the Minister and other officials of the National Social Investment Program (NSIP). The matter is still being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which has resulted in the continued suspension of the N-Power program.

Student Loan: Twenty Thousand Three Hundred And Seventy One Students From 6 Tertiary Institutions Get Monthly Upkeep Stipend

The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) today, Monday announced the successful disbursement of ₦20,000 monthly upkeep stipends for July to twenty thousand three hundred and seventy one students from 6 tertiary institutions.

A statement published by the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) in Abuja listed the institutions as follows;

1) Bayero University Kano

2) Federal University, Dutsin-Ma

3) University of Ilorin

4) University of Benin

5) University of Ibadan

6) University of Maiduguri.

The statement which was signed by the Director of finance of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), Ibom Uche, said NELFUND is working towards the commencement of the disbursement process for students from approximately, fifty five additional tertiary institutions.

“It is anticipated that this will be concluded within the next 2 weeks as the fund is committed to ensuring that all eligible students receive their stipends promptly.”

The statement further stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Sunday, further committed the sum of ₦50,000,000,000 to the student loan cause.

“It is noteworthy that the President only Sunday committed a further ₦50,000,000,000 from recovered proceeds of crime.”

The execution of the student loan scheme is President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s flagship project in the education sector.

Roughly one month after his inauguration as president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu signed the Access to Higher Education Act, which establishes a legal framework for granting loans to indigent or low-income Nigerians to ease the payment of their fees in Nigerian tertiary institutions.

The law, reenacted earlier this year, created the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND).

The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) is saddled with the duty of handling all student loan requests, grants, disbursement, and recovery.

The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) according to the Act, is to be funded from multiple sectors and will engage in other productive activities to empower Nigerian students.
