President Muhammadu Buhari government said it has relieved
over 5, 781 N-power beneficiaries of their duties for truancy.
This was disclosed on Saturday in Abuja by the Senior
Special Assistant (SSA) to the President on Job Creation and Youth Employment,
Afolabi Imoukheude, who addressed the beneficiaries.
The Presidential Aide said that complaints received from the
places of primary assignment of the affected beneficiaries over truancy and
lackadaisical attitude were getting overwhelming.
He said that even when letters were written to them to
explain themselves, most of them did not comply so government had to sack them.
Imoukheude said, “When we get report of people who play
truancy we usually place you on payment hold. In N-power you learn, work and
earn.
“If you do not do the right thing and you are paid, you are
stealing the money. Note that the funds are not mine but that of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria.
“We have been receiving enormous complaints that a lot of
you no longer go to work. The head teacher in your Primary Place of Assignment
(PPA) is your Buhari and have the responsibility to teach, monitor and educate
you.
“I have some good news for most of you, 5,781 of you have
been forcefully exited out of the programme because of disciplinary issues.
Perhaps you will begin to believe that states have authority over you. We also
receive report of those who absconded and you know the terms and conditions
attached to be an N-power beneficiary.
“There has been so many insinuations around ghost workers in
N-power. There is no ghost workers in N-power, there cannot even be because
having conducted a physical verification and confirming those who come into the
programme for them not to exist.
“What happens to those who do not receive alert? It is
because of validation and we try to contact you via phone number, email address
to go regularise yourself with your bank and update your details.”
