Did Minister Farouk Embezzle N-Power’s 2020 Budgeted Fund?

The ongoing protests of the Batch A & B beneficiaries of the N-Power program should not be labeled as surprising, since these beneficiaries posted about it on social media platforms.

What is however surprising is what happened to the purported billions of Naira budget for the program. It is worthy of note that the 2020 budget starts in May/June 2020.

The questions on the minds of Nigerians is simple, did Hon. Sadiya Farouk embezzled the billions budgeted for the program?

More critical is the fact that the school feeding program came under scrutiny during the lockdown and it was said that in 2020 alone, the school feeding program gulped over 62 billion Narira, while the pupils and students where at home, mind you the program was school-feeding not home-feeding.

So where did the Hon. Minister for Humanitarian And Disaster Management and her team get those monies from?

Are those monies meant for the purchase of the devices of the Batch B N-Power beneficiaries?

Since the N-Power program and the school feeding program are under the same ministry, how come 62 billion is spent on pupils and students not in school?

Shouldn’t those monies be directed to the purchase of the devices of the beneficiaries and payment of their stipends?

Did the 2020 budget for the ministry includes new recriutement and termination of the the old?

If the said money is not enough as claimed by the Hon. Minister Sadiya Farouk, why the recruitment process for new intake into the scheme or is the process a scam?

Did the minister allocate NPower beneficiaries slots to some cabals in the Senate and National Assembly?

It should be on records that she still owes the NPower Batch B their devices + 2 years of data subscription(as it was done for Batch A), 2 months payment assuming that they are not including the month of August 2020, before the permanency package.

As at now Batch A & B are in waiting for their permanency package not Geep Loan.
