200,000 Nigerians to start receiving pay on N-power

Atleast over 199,000 youths will start benefiting their monthly allowances from the federal government N-power scheme.

Mr. Laolu Akande made it known to newsmen recently when he said 40% of the selected names came based on the number of applications per state, stressing that  a special mark-up for the 6 states of the northeast and a discretionary addition for states with low numbers of applicants.

According to him “The Buhari Presidency has made very diligent and transparent efforts to ensure that the Social Investment Programmes do not repeat the errors of the past, and the attempt therefore to hurriedly compare the programmes with failed efforts of the past, like SURE-P, even at this early stage is simply baseless.
“There wouldn’t be any middle-men and the payments to be made to the N-Power candidates, the monthly N5,000 to the poorest and most vulnerable among others would be paid directly to them.
“The 200,000 have been selected as promised in the first batch of N-Power job scheme of Buhari and are now being BVN screend to draw their pay.”
He further noted that almost 15,000 Nigerians from Borno State applied in the first application series of N-Power schemes online while, Enugu State had over 20,000 applications online for the N-Power programme; while Zamfara and Bayelsa had over 6,000 and 7,000 respectively.

Plateau killings: More facts revealed as presidency exposes PDPs crocodile tears

The sad and unfortunate killings in Plateau State over the weekend have been turned to opportunity to once again play irresponsible politics, particularly by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which says it is declaring seven days of mourning. These are dolorous times that call for deep introspection on how cheap human lives have become, and the proffering of actionable ideas on how to get out of the bind. But the PDP would rather dance on the graves of the dead, playing cheap, infantile politics. The comatose and prostrate party is declaring seven days of mourning, during which flags in its offices would be flown at half mast nationwide. But unknown to the party, those flags had been forcefully lowered since its 2015 loss at the polls, and may remain so for a long time to come, because Nigerians are politically discerning, and cannot be hoodwinked by cheap antics. A quick checklist of some savage and brutal killings in Nigeria during PDP rule, between 1999 and 2015, for wh...
