Nigerian government on Thursday
warned that N-Power volunteers caught or implicated in the sale of the
programme’s tablets would be dismissed.
Presidential Aide on Job Creation
and Youth Empowerment, Mr Afolabi Imoukhuede, gave the warning in Abuja.
His words: “Information reaching
us is that some of our N-Power Volunteers are attempting to dispose their
device, we urge you in your best interest not to do so.
“Once caught, you would not only
be dismissed from the programme, you would be blacklisted from other federal government’s
social Investment Programmes.
“A lien would also be placed on
your bank accounts for the full refund of the asset cost to the Bank of
Industry”.
He reminded the beneficiaries
that the devices currently being distributed to the volunteers were secured
through an Asset Finance arrangement.
Imoukhuede said the arrangement
was made with the Bank of Industry (BOI) for 20 months by the National Social
Investment Programme.
“As such, the devices are to aid
the continual learning and development of our volunteers, which seek to enhance
their employability ready for the labour market when they exit the programme
after 24 months.
“These devices are also their
work tools as it would aid the discharge of their community functions in their
primary places of assignment be it at the Public Schools, Primary Health
Centres or the Agriculture Development Farm Settlements.
“In addition, these devices
contain global knowledge content contributed by some of our global partners
such as Cisco, Google, Microsoft on ICT, Leadership and Entrepreneurship for
their continuous development,’’ he said.
