NPOWER VOLUNTEERS WRITE BUHARI, SAYS “WE WANT PERMANENT EMPLOYMENT, NO TEMPORARY EMPOWERMENT”

We write to express our displeasure and disappointment to the stance of the Federal Government of Nigeria towards our demands for better permanent and pensionable offers, most especially with reference to the repetitive insistence of the SSA to the president on job creation and one of the major stakeholders of the Npower Initiative Scheme, Mr Afolabi Imoukhuede, that we should quit demanding for permanency.

On many occasions, Mr Afolabi Imoukhuede has maintained that the scheme was tailored to run only for two years, and it was only meant to be an empowerment and not an employment opportunity, and as a result of that, we are advised to make judicious use of the scheme by saving some amounts of money from the stipends paid to us. This has been in reaction to our agitations for permanency from both the state and federal government.
