Beneficiaries of the N-power welfare programme would be exited from the system before the end of 2020, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Farouq, says.
Farouq explained that the Regime youth employment scheme was designed to run for two years, hence the first batch would be phased out as they are overdue.
Addressing the press, the Minister explained that the beneficiaries were all aware that their services would be terminated after two years.
According to Faroq: “I don’t know why there is fear, we know that the government had this programme in place to support our teeming unemployed youths, especially the graduates and it is supposed to be a two years programme.
