A lot of Npower 2016 Beneficiaries are not yet certain on the fate of their jobs, it has been rumored that the Federal Government (FG) has plans to make the employment permanent instead of the stipulated 2 years duration of the program.

We have been receiving a lot of questions from all our esteemed readers regarding this particular issue and we decided to do a little fact finding and we are here to present to you the result.

The Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the President on Job creation and Youth Empowerment, Mr Afolabi Imoukhuede said in an interview which held on Wednesday, April 10, 2019 in Abuja, that there was no provision of permanent employment.

“To the best of my knowledge, I am not aware of this news, when I read it, they were quoting Mr President and I am not aware of any meeting where Mr President made such statement.

“I am not aware of the practicality of such news, what I know was that the pioneer members will not exit the programme as earlier schedule,’’ he said.

We don’t have provision to give the 2016 batch of N-Power beneficiaries permanent job says the Federal Government.

The SSA also promised that all pioneer candidates/workers of the Npower Scheme would continue receiving their mothly stipends/salary till the end of their programme.
