N-POWER SCHEME: HOW YOU CAN EARN MONEY – BUHARI’S AIDE TELLS PARTICIPANTS

Afolabi Imoukhuede, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Job Creation, advised N-Power program participants to gain a workplace placement experience that will allow them to earn money to improve their lives.

He spoke Wednesday on an evaluation visit to volunteers from Idia College, Edo and the Ugbor Health Center in Benin.

"When you complete your tasks, you must gain experience at work so that you can improve your life after completing the program," he said.

Recall that the N-Power portal was reopened for registration on Tuesday, June 13, 2017.

Imoukhuede noted that some volunteers had treated the program with a lightness while their serious colleagues had gone beyond waiting for scholarships to open their own business.

The aid said that anyone who could find N-Power bursaries while holding another job would, in addition to being deported, be required to reimburse everything he had collected.

At Edo College, Imoukhuede expressed the delight that all volunteers posted to the school understood the program and worked well to achieve the goals.

He congratulated them for their hard work and stated that the federal government would consider resolving the outstanding payment of the December 2016 allowances after all other months of 2017 had been cleared through customs.

"By your attendance register, you have done well, and I congratulate you, but put your heart into this work for added value.


"This program is more about you. It is an investment of at least N6 billion each month and a serious business," he added.

At the Ugbor Health Center, Imoukhuede thanked the volunteers for adding value to the medical needs of ordinary people.

Imoukhuede asked them to make judicious use of the equipment to collect data that could be shared between states and the federal government to improve primary health care.
