Finally Federal Government Gives Reply To N-Power Beneficiaries Grant.
The federal government has replied the N-Power beneficiaries that protested in front of the National Assembly on Thursday for payment of 600,000 niara grant each and the federal government should absorb all the the 500,000 beneficiaries in federal ministry.
A statement by the federal minister of humanitarian Affairs disaster management and social development says that their demands is not part of the Agreement they signed with the federal government in 2016 and 2018 that specifies that their tenure will expired after two years.The government said not even now that they are preparing to engaged new beneficiaries
The federal government of the country has, through, the ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster management, announced the disengagement of N-Power batch A and B beneficiaries from the scheme. This did not go well with the beneficiaries who will now have to fall back into the streets they were picked from to search for livelihood.
The beneficiaries then lunched several protests in many parts of the country in order that the government might address their plight. This, however, has not yielded positive result. Lots of questions have since then been put forward requesting the minister to answer them. In some of the questions, the beneficiaries demanded to know if lack of prompt payment, device among others are parts of the agreement for the programme.
An N-Power responding to these questions laid course on the minister saying “the air she is breathing will Judge her, the ground she is walking on will become very hot for her, the sun will smith her by day and the moon by night. She is a naturally wicked and heartless woman.”
N-Power beneficiaries are in continuous pain as their only means of livelihood has been taken from them. Moreover, the inability of the government to pay their last month stipend only worsen their pain.
