Minister Edu stated that the government, led by President Bola Tinubu, had temporarily halted N-Power payments upon taking office in order to rectify flaws in the program during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today. Recipients who had to wait several months for their wages to arrive from the previous administration are now beginning to get money in their accounts.

“Right now, we’re paying N-Power; we worked from Sunday until Christmas morning to make sure that young people receive the money they’re due from the previous administration,” Edu said.

Guarantee of a 9-month N-Power Stipend and Transfer to RHJCP

Edu further promised Nigerians that when the Ministry reopens for business in January 2024, the 9-month NPower stipend will continue to be paid. The government intends to carry with the N-Power program when beneficiary obligations are paid, possibly renaming it the Renewed Hope Job Creation Program (RHJCP).

Rekindled Hope for NPower Recipients Across the Country

Though there are rumors that payments may start up again right after Christmas, the Ministry is nevertheless determined to address any gaps in the program before moving forward. As the Federal Government moves to resolve unpaid debt and clear the path for the program’s continuation, this development gives N-Power beneficiaries across the country new optimism.
