Npower beneficiaries seeking clarity on their outstanding stipend payments received an update from Nasims today. The update sheds light on the reasons behind the delay and offers some hope for the future.
In a statement released via their social media channels, Nasims addressed the constant inquiries from beneficiaries regarding the commencement date for their overdue stipends. This acknowledges the financial hardship the delay might be causing.
The reason behind the delay is a program suspension. President Tinubu suspended the Npower program (part of NSIPA) in January 2024 due to suspected irregularities within the ministry. This suspension aims to ensure clean operations and prevent misuse of funds. An initial investigation was planned for six weeks, but the situation has become more complex.
There’s positive news! Honorable Billy Osawaru, a key figure advocating for the underprivileged, has proposed lifting the suspension in the House of Representatives. This suggests a push to get the program back on track and resume payments to beneficiaries as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, with the program suspended, Nasims cannot provide specific updates on when payments will resume. They can only share information once the suspension is lifted or if there are significant developments in the investigation.
While beneficiaries wait for President Tinubu’s decision on the suspension, Nasims remains dedicated to supporting them. They will actively search for and share details about any government or private programs that might offer financial assistance during this time.
The statement concludes with Nasims expressing sincere appreciation to Npower beneficiaries for their understanding and cooperation throughout this challenging period.
While there’s no confirmed date for restarting payments, Nasims acknowledges your concerns and is working to find alternative support options. The proposed lifting of the suspension offers a hopeful sign, but we have to wait for President Tinubu’s response. Stay informed and keep an eye out for further updates from Nasims.
