Some Beneficiaries Of N-Power Programme Fake – Official

The Focal Person of Federal Government Social Intervention Progeamme In Adamawa State, Mary Yuwadi, has disclosed that many beneficiaries of the N-power social intervention scheme in the state are not resident in the state.

Yuwadi made the disclosure while announcing the sack of 30 beneficiaries of the programme.

She said, “We discovered that some of those who registered under the programme  in Adamawa, reside in Abuja and Lagos and collect the stipend being paid.

”We also found out that some of those who registered, were civil servants working in various local government areas across the state,” she said.

 Yuwadi noted that the 30 beneficiaries who are teachers, were dismissed for absconding duties at their places of primary assignment.

” The federal government has also stopped their monthly payment. This will serve as deterrent for other members who are not serious in their places of work.

On the impact of the programme especially N-Power Teach, she said:” the programme has significantly improved the standard of primary and junior secondary schools education  in the state.

”’There is inadequate supervision, mobility and accommodation  problems”.

An estimated 500,000 youths across the country are currently engaged in the scheme, providing services in the country’s education, health, agriculture sectors and local government offices with a monthly N30,000 stipend.

These programmes include N-Power Teach and Tech, Conditional Cash Transfer, Schools Feeding among others
