N-Power: FG to exit beneficiaries before December 2020

The Federal Government has revealed that N-Power beneficiaries would be exited before the end of the year 2020.

This was disclosed by the minister of humanitarian affairs, disaster management and social development, Sadiya Farouq.

According to her, the first batch of beneficiaries were supposed to have been exited since 2018.

She also stated that the beneficiaries are aware that the agreement with the Federal Government was meant for just two years after which they will be exited.

She said: "I don't know why there is fear, we know that the government had this programme in place to support our teeming unemployed youth, especially the graduates and it is supposed to be a two years programme.

"We started with the first batch in 2016 and they were supposed to have been exited in 2018 and we want to believe that most of them that are wise must have saved really from this stipend that they are been paid every month.

"Also, they must have learned some skills, so, I don't think we should have this panic that these people don't know their fate, they don't know their future. From the onset (outset) they know that this programme would not be there forever."
