Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social
Development, Hajiya Sadiya Umar Farouq, says discussions are ongoing to
ensure that exited and eligible N-Power beneficiaries are absorbed into
government programmes.
Farouq in a statement on Thursday in Abuja
by her Special Assistant on Media, Mrs Nneka Anibeze, said exited
beneficiaries should exercise more patience and await the result of her
efforts.
“We have directed Focal Persons of National Social
Investment Programmes in the states to submit an updated list of the
exited N-Power beneficiaries that are interested in participating in the
transition plans of the ministry.
Umar-Farouq also explained
that the Batches A and B N-Power beneficiaries knew from the beginning
as they were informed that the programme was for 24 months.
She said the non-disengagement of Batch A beneficiaries after 24 months was done out of exigencies of the time.
