stand to be corrected# The Lagos state Government seems to be playing with fire. We all gathered at Alausa this Morning hoping that the verification would commence as earlier circulated on this platform yesterday, but lo and behold we were told that some group of Lagos Npower volunteers were there protesting peacefully yesterday , but because their number was insignificant about 23, nobody answered them or paid attention to them saying that nobody in Lagos State Executive , Legislative or Ministries and Department is aware of the FGN NPOWER PROGRAMME # imagine the nonsense#. They later told them that only a selected few, about six of them to be precise should come today being Tuesday to hold a secret closed door meeting to represent the interest of 11,000 volunteers across 20 local government. #imagine the nonsense#, but surprisingly when fellow volunteers started turning up today, we numbered up to 500 , and seriously we were all agitated and angry to hear of what transpired on Monday, nothing conclusive, therefore when they said we should be patient for them to attend the closed door meeting, we refused, and all decided to march down to the Governor's Office to plead our cause in one large voice, luckily enough we got the attention of the Speaker of the Lagos House of Assembly Hon. Mudashiru as his convoy was coming into the complex, he had to come down and address us and told us that the Government including the Legislative is not aware of the Npower programme at all, but that he will make enquiries into issues now that we have informed him to settle our grievances, unsatisfied we proceeded to the office of the Governor were the policemen tried holding us back, but we successfully gained their attention and were directed to meet with Representatives from the office of the office of Secretary to the Lagos state Government and NOA offices. There they finally told us that they had never being aware, but now that we had made them aware Ambode has finally signed the MOU and that they were going to start acting on that from now slowly being that Lagos is big and organized so that they will not end up employing miscreants and people with fake certificates into Government offices and Department, we tried telling them that was the purpose why the FGN involved them them for the verification exercise, hence they should proceed with our verification so that we can be paid our December stipend, but they refused saying that the office of one Mrs Falana( Lagos State Focal person) in the Ministry Of Women Affairs will need to inform relevant authorities as well as print and publicize the programme while working out modalities on how they can absorb some of us to be employed, and that they will get back to us by the end of January #IMAGINE THE BIG NONSENSE # Lagos State Govt is playing with Fire, and they will be burnt, they think this is a State Govt tribalism oriented programme...Shame on Ambode and his Men. Npower Lagosians, stand up and fight for your right before this people hijack it. Copied |

Lagos State N-Power Becomes Operational by End of January – Coordinator By GEORGE OKOJIE — Jan 12, 2017 4:40 pm | Leave a comment Lagos State Coordinator of the N-Power’s programme, Shola Falana has given assurance that the scheme would become fully operational by the end of January in the state. The Lagos State House of Assembly hadon Tuesday 10th, January directed the Acting Clerk, Azeez Sanni to invite the State’s Coordinator of N-Power scheme over a petition sent to the House for alleged shady practices. But in her submission, the Coordinator in company of the State Commissioner of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Lola Akande stated Lagos had highest number of applicants for the programme, adding that that was responsible for the slow take off. The N-Power scheme was a programme designed by the federal government to empower the youth and the vulnerable in the country. This was part of the campaign promises by President Muhammadu Buhari during electioneering in 2015. While responding to some of the questions raised by the lawmakers, Falana explained that the federal government has final verdict on the programme, saying she was acting according to instructions. She said, “the scheme involves five programmes from the Federal level, one of them is the N-Power. The screening and shortlisting of applicants were done at the federal level. “Lagos has the highest number of applicants and Alimosho led in the State. Over 11,000 applicants were successful in the state. It was as a result of this that we had a delay. By the grace of God, before the end of January, we will start paying the successful applicants. “We shall also display the certificates of successful applicants and I promise to always acquaint with members of the House on the other programmes of the scheme,” Falana said. The Deputy Majority Whip, Omotayo Oduntan however, disclosed that it was unbelievable that she and her co-colleague from Alimosho, Bisi Yusuff were not aware of such development happening in their constituencies. While supporting Oduntan, Adefunmilayo Tejuoso, chairman House committee on Public Petitions said members were supposed to be carried along on the activities of the scheme. However, the chairman on Housing, lbrahim Layode disagreed with his colleagues. According to Layode, “the coordinator had informed us that it was a decision ratified at the federal level, we shouldn’t blame her. “Instead, let’s liaise with our representatives at the federal level to brief us on how those names were selected,” Layode said. The Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa who presided over the plenary told the Coordinator to ensure that Lagos State is not shortchanged while carrying out the directive of the federal government. Obasa added, “Also, do everything possible to ensure that our people are paid both the December and January stipends.” The Speaker also directed the Coordinator to forward the list of the successful applicants to the House since the information reaching them indicated that “many of those shortlisted are non-indigenes of the state.” |

All these their talk sef...... Did the federal government not recruit people that apply for the programme? Are there lagos state indigenes that complained that their names were replaced? If yes, let them stage their protest. If lagos state indigenes didn't apply for Npower, how will they be shortlisted and who is to blame. They better stop all the excuses and get something done. 1 Like |

TOP VIDEOS Presidency Warns Against Sales Of Social Investment Programmes’ Forms Channels Television. Updated January 15, 2017 The Presidency in Nigeria has asked citizens to refuse paying any money for the Federal Government’s Social Investment Programmes (SIP), saying none of the programmes attracts an application fee. A spokesman for the Vice President, Mr Laolu Akande, gave the government’s position on the programme on Sunday while giving a weekly media update on the SIP. He said the government had received reports about instances where Nigerians were being asked to pay application fees for SIP forms. “We want to make it clear that such action is illegal and could warrant criminal prosecution. “Let us make this very clear: in order to benefit from N-Power, you don’t have to pay any application fees at all. “The way to apply is to go online to the N-Power portal. But it is not open right now as we are still working on the 200,000 unemployed graduates already engaged,” Mr Akande explained. Regarding the CCT, he also explained that there were no application forms or fees to be paid either. He said: “We are using a Community-Based Targeting template of the World Bank and as we have explained this is the mode of identifying the poorest of the poor and the most vulnerable”. The Vice President’s spokesman observed that there were instances during the N-Power online application process when some leaders decided to gather information of their people and then upload them onto the N-Power Internet portal to meet the online application requirement. “We don’t frown on such an effort as long as the information of the N-Power applicants are properly in-putted online. But we frown at anyone selling forms to Nigerians for this programmes,” he said. On claims that some party agents have been involved in such illegal form sales, Mr Akande said “the rule affected everyone”. “No one should sell forms for N-Power or any of the President’s Social Investment Programmes. That is exploitation and it is fraudulent.” On the progress so far recorded on the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT), Mr Akande said payment was now taking place in all the nine pilot states, adding that altogether FG has already made cash available to keep the payments going. Akande said while the CCT payments have started in the pilot states, although not everyone in those states have been paid due to logistics and banking challenges. He disclosed that three banks Stanbic, Access and GTB have been very helpful in the process, including supporting the implementation of aspects of the CCT pro bono. The Vice President’s spokesman also told reporters that the Homegrown School Feeding Programme would also proceed this week with the addition of five states who will now be getting FG funding to ensure that primary school pupils in those states start enjoying one hot meal a day. Ogun, Oyo, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Osun states would be added added to Anambra where the school feeding programme kicked off last year, to increase the number of states where the programme is being implemented to six. At least 5.5 million Nigerian primary school pupils would be fed for 200 school days under the free Homegrown School Feeding Programme, according to the 2016 Budget, which has an allocation of 93.1 billion Naira appropriated for the feeding scheme.
