The Federal Government has announced the indefinite suspension of the N-power program.
Minister of humanitarian affairs and poverty alleviation, Doctor Betta Edu made the announcement in an interview today, where she stated that the decision was birthed by some irregularities within the scheme, noting that the government has launched investigation into the utilization of funds since the program began.
The minister also claimed that some of the beneficiaries are not found in their place of assignments yet expect monthly stipends, while some of the beneficiaries ought to have exited the program but are still on the payroll.
The N-power program was launched by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari to address the issue of youth unemployment and help increase social development.
