Npower will not end.

Npower has no right to end this time around, I have been watching the situation of things with Npower, they have been promising a lot of things.

However, the payment of October stipend has taken another level just like in other occasion when beneficiaries get paid at the middle of the following month which they find it difficult to comprehend the reason behind this delay. Some volunteers took to their social media platforms to express their feeling in regards to this delay. A volunteer said, “We are ready to deliver this country in terms of reviving the standard of our primary and secondary education if only Federal government is ready to give we the youths maximum attention.This is what I go through every day to make a living and you people still hold our stipend for extra month before payment and still called the youths lazy sets of people....
