The N-Power beneficiaries under the Federal Government’s Social Investment Programme (SIP) yesterday appealed to the Federal Government to ensure timely payment of their monthly stipends to enhance their performance and productivity.

Some of the beneficiaries, in separate interview with journalists in Lokoja, commended the government for initiating the programme, saying it had transformed their lives tremendously.

They, however, decried the recent development in the delay in payment of their monthly stipends and urged the government to address their plight.

The Unit Head of N-Power Programme in Kogi State, Mr. Femi Bolaji, urged the beneficiaries to be patient, assuring them that everything would soon be normalised.
