Over unpaid salaries from October 2022 to September 2023.
The petition, filed by human rights lawyer Deji Adeyanju, demands immediate payment of outstanding stipends, citing the beneficiaries’ fulfillment of their commitments to the N-Power program.
The N-Power program, introduced by former President Muhammadu Buhari in 2016, aims to tackle youth unemployment and promote social development. However, the recent financial challenges faced by some participants have raised concerns about the program’s implementation and the welfare of its beneficiaries.
Key Points from the Petition:
– Unpaid Stipends: Beneficiaries have not received their monthly stipends for 12 months, despite fulfilling their obligations.
– Financial Hardship: The non-payment of stipends has caused significant financial difficulty for the beneficiaries.
– Program Purpose: The N-Power program aims to provide financial relief, promote skill development, and encourage sustainable livelihoods.
The petitioners urge the minister to address the issue and ensure timely payment of outstanding stipends to alleviate the financial burden on the beneficiaries.
