Breaking: Federal Government sacks 2000 N-Power beneficiaries
The Federal Government has disengaged the services of over 2,000 beneficiaries of its youth empowerment programme, N-Power.
Disclosing this, spokesperson of NSIP, Justice Bibiye, said the beneficiaries were dismissed for staying away from their places of primary assignment for a long time.
In a statement, Bibiye said: “Instances have compelled the need for continued action against those who are seen to be undermining the smooth implementation of a well-thought-out federal government social intervention initiative.”

“N-Power is not a charity programme, thus everyone captured under the scheme is expected to justify the benefits and rules of engagement through diligence, hard work, and commitment to designated duties.”
He said similar acts of “dereliction of duty, indolence, absenteeism and indiscipline on the part of the beneficiaries will continue to be sanctioned.”
Bibire also stated that the government has increased the number of monitoring partners for supervision and monitoring of all components of the NSIPs for effective and efficient service delivery.
He appealed with members of the “public to report cases of absenteeism as strict measures would ensure fewer cases of misconduct against the values of the programme.”
“The public and the media would only be supporting the efforts of the administration to reduce unemployment, by reporting the relatively few indolent, erring volunteers who were lucky to have been selected to serve under such a programme,” Bibire added.
