N-power Beneficiaries To Expect Payment Of Outstanding Entitlements - FG

The Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development has said that all N-Power enrollees in the country should expect to receive bank credit alerts for outstanding payments of their monthly entitlement from today, Tuesday, April 14, 2020.

This was disclosed by Sadiya Umar Farouq, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, after all due processes were concluded in line with the rules guiding federal government’s public financial expenditure.

The Minister said,

“Those responsible for processing the payment must do it in conformity with the necessary rules and regulations to ensure accountability,” the Minister emphasised.

“Now that the rules were followed strictly and the process concluded, I was given the assurance that they will start receiving credit alerts from their banks today, Tuesday, April 14, 2020,”

“The Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development will along with relevant partners drive the overhauling process to ensure that the expected benefits of the NSIPs are realised in full."

The creation of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration is leading to the institutionalization of the programme, which entails that payments for N-Power participants or their enrolment must be through transparent processes in line with the relevant rules to ensure accountability.

The Minister reiterated that the ministry is committed to improve the National Social Investment Programmes (NSIPs), including the N-Power component, to ensure transparency, effectiveness, accountability and the judicious application of public resources in running the programmes.
