The government breached the contract agreement at first, a programme that is meant for two years, they extended it all because of election campaigns, of course it won't speak well of the government if they disengaged the volunteers amid election after they made promises to the volunteers during election ' *YOUR PERMANENCY LIES ON YOUR VOTER'S CARD*.
I don't see reason why the government can't give these sets of youths jobs or rather a grant, why being so wicked and insensitive

authority2006:


Others can benefit and they should benefit. Afterall, it's the crumbs that they using to feed us all. Why can't we fight to death over it?



What I don't understand is why you think 1000 naira per day for two years can really empower anyone in Nigeria. They're greedy for receiving 1k naira per day for two years, according to you. But those stealing their future are what exactly? Your future too! U go receive sense one day

Sibrah:
The scheme itself was a success but as a venture is a long term venture. Returns isn't in sight and salaries are not being generated from within the scheme yet. It makes sense to give the disengaged beneficiaries a lump sum to help them become small business owners but the money isn't there like that. This has to happen.

Geopex:



So what about those billions stolen by the said government. Are u saying is that if they should give them grant to start there own business after serving the country twice. How much is 30k per month? I know how much I spent on data, feeding, my mother, sisters, brothers and friends in a week. I am one of the npower volunteers, I started my business after a yr as a volunteer, but is possible for me bcs am still still single. Many are married and the stipend was not enough for feeding alone. If government want to lift them from poverty, I see no big deal in giving us grant even if z 200k or more.

Reference:


If you truly, truly used the money for self development how then can you be in a precarious situation. At least you should have left life support to the emergency ward status which is better.

But I understand without proper vision and guidance this will happen. If my daddy always gave me a pouch of cash for school fees right from kindergarten as his only obligation towards my education I certainly will not have seen the four walls of any school.

Viking007:
The same government promised them heaven and earth before the last election. They must be held accountable for every promise made.

heykims:
A suggestion ma'am Mrs minister, why not stop the yeye school feeding program that gulp billions of naira and deploy the funds and resources to empower these unemployed graduates?

Slawormir:
Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright

Bunch of morons

Still want to collect From federal government after exiting the programme

Shivah:
Very true. How in heaven can they be asking for that amount of money as grant? That sum has already being budgeted to the corrupt leaders and looters

pieces18:


These are very stuupid to protest, Nigerians we are not helping ourselves, we like corner corner in everything we do. What did they do with their time while on that programme? Did the govt promise them what they are demanding? This absolute rubbish and its sign how irresponsible these people.

wink2015:


WHAT STOP NDDC AND OTHER STATE BODIES LIKE DESOPADEC, EDOSOPADEC etc FROM ESTABLISHING THEIR OWN NPOWER PROGRAMMES FOR YOUTH IN THE NIGER DELTA REGION.

Everything should not be left in the hands of the federal government, state government and local government.

We need another NPOWER Programme that is managed by the state and local government.

All we hear is NO MONEY ! NO MONEY ! but public officers are stealing this money using fictitious contract.

IghravweIG:

God bless you for this. Even if its a 200k grant let them give us access to it so we can do something tangible.

SweetCunt97:
Are they stupid? Is this the first time an election has been held ND youths used? Their agreement stated 24 months engagement so let them get sense. Word of the mouth no dey binding.

Viking007:
But she spent double that figure in two weeks feeding imaginary school children. The Npower volunteers should just prepare for a bigger protest. This government only reacts to violence.

The government promised them heaven and earth before and during the election period, they must be held accountable for every promise.

You might want to Google up the facts so you update yourself. The government promised to give them jobs, that no single volunteer will return to the streets . Well, it was so sweet when they needed the votes, now the consequences of their unguarded statements is happening.
