In a significant update with the potential to alleviate financial burdens for many, the Federal Government has officially declared the impending disbursement of the long-anticipated 9-month backlog of stipends to N-Power beneficiaries, set to kick off in November. This announcement was made by Akindele Egbuwalo, the national program manager of N-Power, during a recent meeting with beneficiaries in Abuja. It marks a substantial milestone in a journey where beneficiaries have eagerly awaited their long-overdue stipends.
As part of the extensive restructuring and reform initiatives aimed at streamlining and enhancing the N-Power program, the Federal Government has not only addressed the backlog of payments but has also introduced the “Renewed Hope Job Creation Programme (RHJCP).” This rebranding is in alignment with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s new vision, signifying a fresh commitment to job creation and empowerment.
Under the dedicated leadership of Dr. Betta Edu, the Honourable Minister, the RHJCP is poised to expand its reach, with an ambitious goal of targeting 5 million beneficiaries over the next 5 years. This initiative aims to absorb 1 million youths annually, encompassing both graduates and non-graduates, providing them with opportunities for personal and professional growth.
