The Presidency said last night that
13 states have submitted the
verified list of graduates who
applied for the Federal Government
jobs, otherwise called N-Power jobs.
Disclosing this while giving an
update on the programme
yesterday, Mr. Laolu Akande, Senior
Special Assistant on Media and
Publicity in the Office of the Vice
President, stated that in some
states, the graduates had been
deployed to their primary places of
assignment, noting that payment of
the N30,000 stipends for the
graduates would commence this
month once verification and
deployment were done.
According to him, the states include
Adamawa, Bauchi, Benue, Cross
River, Gombe, Jigawa, Katsina and
Kogi states. Others are Niger,
Plateau, Sokoto, Taraba and
Zamfara States, while verification
and deployment have already been
completed in Benue, Cross River and
Kogi.
Akande added: “Under the N-Power
Volunteer Scheme, the Federal
Government announced the
selection and engagement of 200,000
unemployed graduates as the first
batch of the half a million the Buhari
administration plans to hire for the
2-year paid volunteer job
programme.”
He also stated that the present
government was determined to
create jobs for the youths.
He said: “While the Federal
Government is responsible for their
monthly stipends, it is in
partnership with state governments
to verify the selected unemployed
graduates and deploy them to their
primary places of assignment since
each of the volunteer graduates
would be serving in their
communities where they are
resident.
“In virtually all the states of the
federation, the verification has
commenced and there are
indications that much progress
would be made this week in order to
enable the Federal Government
process the monthly payments of the
already verified graduates before
Christmas.
“The Buhari administration is keen
on ensuring that the selected
200,000 graduates are able to draw
their stipends starting this month,
as plans have been concluded to
release the funds once verification is
completed. States have been very
cooperative in working with the
Federal Government so much that
even in states that have not
completed verification by weekend,
much activities are going on towards
attaining that goal.”
