The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Hajiya Sadiya Farouq has explained why beneficiaries under the Federal Government’s N-Power programme are yet to receive their monthly stipends.

The Minister said the delay was because the ministry wants to understand and have a full list of beneficiaries that were paid before she was asked to take over the affairs of the programme.

The ministry revealed that it has asked those that were in charge of the programme to provide historical background, justification, the last approval and last list of beneficiaries that were paid.
