N-power devises means of detecting faulting Volunteers

Mr Afolabi Imoukhuede, Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the President on Job Creation and Youth Empowerment,  said the scheme had devised a means of detecting erring volunteers. He therefore gave the erring volunteers 45 days to change their attitude to remain on the programme while emphasizing that N-power is not a political campaign promise of All Progressives Congress (APC) and as such, it is not politicised.  Imoukhuede said at the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Forum in Abuja on Tuesday that the programme was one which had received the endorsement of every state governor irrespective of party affiliation. He said that N-power was part of the Social Investment Programmes of the APC-led Federal Government aimed at checking youth unemployment. Imoukhuede said that no politics was introduced in the deployment of beneficiaries. “We do not ask for party affiliation or which political party is ruling in the state you come from before you can be recruited into the schem...

N-Power: Any form requesting an applicant’s PVC details is fraudulent

The National Social Investment Office (NSIO) says any of its programmes’ forms requesting information about an applicant’s  permanent voter card (PVC) is fraudulent. This is coming after the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) alleged that there is a plan to involve beneficiaries of the federal government’s N-Power scheme in the forthcoming elections. In a statement on Sunday, Maryam Uwais, special adviser to the president on social investment, said none of its progammes makes use of the form in question. “Any Form that requests for information relating to political affiliation, PVC of applicants in the name of any of NSIO programmes or prescribes payment of application fees is either fraudulent or mischievous and should be ignored. Such Form(s) could only have been issued by fraudsters or mischief-makers who are intent on discrediting the Social Investment Programmes, which are obviously benefitting the masses,” the statement read. ...

Has N-power scheme solve the unemployment cum poverty problem?

It is two years since the first batch of beneficiaries of the N-Power programme of the Federal Government were enrolled. And it has been a story of success.  In a very long time, and perhaps, the very first time, a government social intervention programme is working seamlessly. Having witnessed how similar programmes were run by previous administrations, it becomes easy to compare and contrast. When the idea of N-Power was muted, it was no surprise that many people had misgivings about it. Instructively, the right decision the Buhari-Osinbajo administration took was to shield N-Power and other social intervention programmes from politicians, both at the federal and state levels. Involving politicians as intermediaries in the scheme would have made it dead on arrival.  Having noticed that they were edged out, our politicians, known for their anti-people tendencies, did not give up the fight to corner the programme to themselves or cause it to be abolished. When it was time ...
