It is of no doubt Mr. President, your hard work and strategies to reduce
unemployment rate in the country is being jeopardised by some few
individuals. Surely, you tried all you could to get relief to the poor
citizens but it seems either the drivers of this emergency ambulance or
the mechanics who repair every damage engine had failed to deliver. Mr.
President, I urge you to seriously look into Npower program especially
with respect to batch B 2017 beneficiaries.
Most of us have
finally given up hope as our endurance, patience, and continuing day and
night struggle seems to have no hope and no shoulder to lean on. We
applied for Npower program in June 2017, it took us more than six months
before the shortlisted names were released. Lucky ones among us get to
the NEXT LEVEL which was described by Npower as verification stage.
We
got verified and qualified into the program which took us six months
again by December 2017. Imagine a graduate celebrating one complete year
waiting for just a 2year program of N30,000 monthly earning. As we were
jubilating, we had no idea the journey has just started. From December
2017 to August 2018, we waited for eight months again just awaiting
deployment.
We still continue to exercise patience we inherit
right from stage one as we always have good faith for this
administration. We were instructed by Npower to report to our place of
primary assignments with immediate effect and upload our assumption of
duty on or before August 8th as failure to do that, will automatically
get you disqualified or get delayed for payment as we were promised our
first stipend on 30th August.
That is not where the story ended,
we abide by all the rules as we all know how long we had waited for this
golden opportunity. August 31st passed, no one received a penny and the
story completely changed from stipend to another prolonging method from
on boarding stage to enrolling stage, to say that everyone must have
gotten enrolment status before he received his stipend.
Mr.
President, this is where our sinking ship keeps drowning for almost five
months, some were lucky to be enrolled and got fully paid, some
enrolled and received two months, while others received only one month
allowance. It’s now five months from our engagement, yet, not a single
penny was received as Npower stipend. The question that begs for answer
is why is it that we are yet to be enrolled and get paid as our
colleagues? You are the only shoulder we could lean on. Mr. President!
We hope our plight will be looked into with immediate effect.
