The Federal Government has commenced partial payment of the N20,000 monthly stipend to the 774,000 beneficiaries of the Special Public Works programme.

The Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo (SAN), disclosed this in a statement in Abuja on Sunday.

The workers had grumbled about the delayed payment of their stipends which the government attributed to the mismatch of Bank Verification Numbers and other details supplied by the beneficiaries.

But giving an update on the payment issue on his Twitter handle, Keyamo said Access Bank has verified accounts for payment while the National Directorate of Employment has commenced payment into accounts with the bank.

The minister said the government was waiting for Zenith, UBA, FCMB, Fidelity, Heritage and Yobe Micro-finance Banks to clean up the anomalies.

SPW participants lament non-payment by FG
The statement was titled, ‘NDE commences partial payment of SPW stipends.’

It read in part, “After the release of some of the funds by the Ministry of Finance for the payment of SPW stipends, I directed rigorous scrutiny of the accounts of the participants before payment.

“We discovered instances of accounts not matching BVNs, multiple accounts bearing a single BVN, non-existent BVNs, etc.

“Because of our determination to eliminate fraud, I further directed the NDE to write to the banks to clean up these anomalies before commencing payments.

“So far, only Access Bank has responded with accounts verified for payment and the NDE has today commenced payment of those accounts with Access Bank.”

Keyamo said the determination of the government to ensure that those selected for the programme get paid “to assist them in these tough times is also matched by our determination to ensure that the programme does not spiral into a vehicle for fraud; not under the watch of Mr President; not under my watch.”

When will they get it right in this country.

This is the job that the government used to score a lot of point, yet several months later nothing to show for it.

From one excuse to another, while the money mapped out is making our politicians rich via interest.

As for Npower, that's another sad story. I laughed when some people were celebrating the termination of the appointment's of those guys.
The argument then was that their contract have expired.Now look at how long its taking them to shortlist people.

If they are sincere, they would have recruited new people before terminating the appointment of those guys.

The question no one is asking is what is happening to the money mapped out for the stipends of these guys,since they are no longer been paid.
