NPower volunteers appeal to FG on prompt payment of stipend arrears
Sequel to the Press briefing by Humanitarian Affairs Minister on Monday over the delayed payment of October and November stipends to NPower volunteers, the beneficiaries have appealed to the Federal Government to effect payment before 20 December.
In an open letter to the Minister on Wednesday, the Volunteers lament the hardship and inconvenience the delay in payment has caused.
According to them, attending Places of Primary Assignment has being very difficult because of lack of fund.
Read the open letter below:
OPEN LETTER TO HONOURABLE MINISTER OF HUMANITARIAN AFFAIRS, DISASTER MANAGEMENT AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
The Honourable Minister,
The leadership of over 500,000 N-Power Volunteers across the 36 states appreciate your effort towards the sustainability of the programme.
After listening to your press briefing on the non approval of October and November Stipend for volunteers and Transition Program for the progressing out beneficiaries, we believe the ministry under your leadership will not disappoint us.
However, we plead with you on behalf of beneficiaries that the outstanding stipends (October and November) should be paid before 20th of December.
It has not be easy for beneficiaries to be at their duty posts without been paid. Volunteers can no longer afford to transport themselves to work, even feeding of the family is challenging.
However, the leadership wish to use this medium to call on all volunteers nationwide to be calm as we trust the leadership of the Honourable Minister.
It is our believe that this passionate appeal will be given a due consideration by you.
Thank you
