Sadiya Umar Farouq, minister of humanitarian affairs, disaster management and social development, says the stipends of N-Power beneficiaries for the month of April will be paid early next week.
She made the promise at briefing of the presidential task force (PTF) on COVID-19 in Abuja on Friday.
Last week, the ministry appealed to the volunteers to be patient, as “funds are currently being processed”.
Nonetheless, whereas responding to a query on why the payment had not been made for April, the minister gave the reassurance that it will be made early next week.
“I wish to say it’s within the last stage of payments. By early next week, they are going to get their funds, Insha Allah,” she stated.
The N-power programme established by the federal government to offer jobs and skill empowerment initiatives for youths.
The N-Power programme, comes with job training, education and a month-to-month stipend of N30,000, is only open to individuals aged between 18 and 35.
