The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Umar Farouq said the approval was given for the payment of the outstanding stipends for the exited N-Power Batches A and B beneficiaries.
The Minister said the approval for payments up to June 2020 had been forwarded to the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation for final checks and payments.
She said the only outstanding approval waiting to be forwarded to the accountant-general’s office was for the payment of July 2020 stipends for Batch B beneficiaries.
The humanitarian ministry, in a statement issued in Abuja, however noted that about 14,000 beneficiaries that were omitted by the AGFs office during the payment from March to June 2020 could be among those rejected by the GIPMIS payment platform.
It said this was due to discrepancies identified with their accounts as conveyed to the ministry by the AGFs office.
It said based on the report from the AGFs office, any beneficiary receiving payment from other government payment platforms would be rejected by the Government Integrated Financial Management System.
