FG sacked 5,781 N-Power beneficiaries

The Federal government has sacked over 5,781 N-power beneficiaries over truancy and lackadaisical attitude.

The Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the President Muhammadu Buhari on Job Creation and Youth Employment, Afolabi Imoukheude, who was disclosed on Saturday in Abuja when addressed the beneficiaries.

The Presidential Aide said that complaints received from the places of primary assignment of the affected beneficiaries over truancy and lackadaisical attitude were getting overwhelming.

He said that even when letters were written to them to explain themselves, most of them did not comply so government had to sack them.

Imoukheude said, “When we get report of people who play truancy we usually place you on payment hold. In N-power you learn, work and earn.

“If you do not do the right thing and you are paid, you are stealing the money. Note that the funds are not mined but that of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“We have been receiving enormous complaints that a lot of you no longer go to work. The head teacher in your Primary Place of Assignment (PPA) is your Buhari and has the responsibility to teach, monitor and educate you.

“I have some good news for most of you, 5,781 of you have been forcefully exited out of the programme because of disciplinary issues.

“Perhaps you will begin to believe that states have authority over you. We also receive report of those who absconded and you know the terms and conditions attached to be an N-power beneficiary.

“There have been so many insinuations around ghost workers in N-power. There is no ghost workers in N-power, there cannot even be because having conducted a physical verification and confirming those who come into the programme for them not to exist.

“What happens to those who do not receive alert? It is because of validation and we try to contact you via phone number, email address to go regularise yourself with your bank and update your details.”
