We’ll Pay Exited Volunteers Next Week- Femi Adesina Channels TV

The spoke person to the President, Mr. Femi Adesina has made it clear on Channels TV, Friday, the 7^th of August 2020, that all exited Npower volunteers will be paid not later than next week

The presidential spoke-man made it clear on the position of government to the exited volunteers, in his precise words, “there is no going back, disengaged volunteers are already exited”

Government cannot continue to pay 500,000 volunteers for life, others will be given same opportunities

“He disclosed that, the batch C registration has shown that, more Nigerians are willing to have skills, as shown by the numbers of applications received

Before the end of next week, all volunteers would have been paid, we have strategized and modified means to pay all the Exited volunteers without flagging of account, the presidential adviser added

The president’s spokesman said the issues the protesters were demonstrating about such as insecurity, corruption, poverty, and rights abuse were not peculiar to Nigeria and so the protests were misguided.

He said the N-Power programme, which gives unemployed youths temporary jobs and monthly stipends was one of the ways the government was addressing joblessness.

Adesina added that the President recognises the problems but they cannot be addressed in one fell swoop.

When asked if the clampdown on protests would continue Adesina noted that the government will do whatever is right, whatever is required to maintain peace in the country”
