FG will rejig N-Power Scheme, pay beneficiaries – Betta Edu By NAN

Dr Betta Edu, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, says plans are underway to rejig the N-Power scheme to accommodate more people and ensure prompt payment of beneficiaries’ stipends. Edu disclosed this in a statement on Sunday by her Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Mr Rasheed Zubair, in Abuja. The statement reported the Minister as saying that the challenges faced by N-Power beneficiaries in terms of delay in payment of their stipends would soon be addressed. “We will change the modalities so that people will get their delayed stipends, include more people, and relaunch it with a renewed hope concept,” she said. She also said, the ministry planned to establish humanitarian hubs across the 774 local government areas in the country, adding that would be a long-term goal towards eradicating poverty in Nigeria. She explained that the hubs would accommodate homegrown commodities, which would be sold at cheaper rates to Nigerians.
