Edu stated, “Presently, payment for N-Power is ongoing; we were in the office yesterday up until the early hours of this morning, just to ensure that young people get monies which they have been owed from the last government. So, N-Power beneficiaries across the nation, I am sure you can attest to the fact that you are seeing your money in your accounts, and this process will continue until the last person who indeed has served is being paid.”

Government’s Commitment to Job Creation:

The restructuring of the N-Power scheme is positioned as a vital component of the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration’s strategy to reduce unemployment and foster job creation in Nigeria. Betta Edu emphasized that the entire process is geared towards enhancing economic opportunities for the nation’s youth.

She explained, “And of course, all of this is being restructured to ensure that we reduce unemployment and create jobs for Nigerians.”

Non-graduate Program Still Active:

Contrary to speculation, N-Power has clarified that its non-graduate program remains active. However, all programs are currently on hold as the government conducts investigations, spearheaded by Betta Edu, into the operations of the scheme.
