"We are not a lending agency", Humanitarian Affairs Ministry says

The Federal Government, Friday,reminded aggrieved NPower enrollees protesting the end of their engagements in the NPower scheme that there was no agreement for their permanent employment, adding that there was no agreement that they would be given grant upon expiration of their engagements.

The government’s position came following protests staged Thursday by aggrieved NPower beneficiaries who berated government for ending the batches A and B without making provisions for permanent jobs for them.

Besides, the aggrieved NPower beneficiaries while demanding permanent jobs, gave the federal government the option of paying each disengaged NPower volunteer the sum of N600,000 as a grant.

The Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, reacting to the development, in a statement by the Deputy Director of Press, Rhoda Iliya, noted that the NPower Volunteers forgot the terms and conditions of the NPower scheme.

According to the statement, there was nowhere in the form where the government had assured that the NPower enrollees would be provided permanent jobs or given the grant upon completion of their engagements.

The ministry told them that it was not a lending agency even as it disclosed that it was
“In contact with other Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) such as CBN and NALDA, to see if the exited beneficiaries can key into their empowerment programmes.”

The statement read in full: “The Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development observed on Thursday 23rd of July 2020, a rally by NPower beneficiaries at the National Assembly which later proceeded to the Federal Secretariat Complex.

Ni o ba tan.

What about their devices? was is not included in the agreement too? Why didn't govt disengage them after 2 years as agreed so they can plan their life. That woman should be checked, because since she took over npower it has been from one complain to another.
