The Federal Government has issued fresh directives to the 774,000 participants of the Extended Special Public Works (ESPW) program.

In a statement issued on Monday by Festus Keyamo, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, the Federal Government instructed all the participants who have no problems with their respective bank accounts to proceed to their banks and clarify issues immediately.

The Federal Government met with the seven banks handling payment of N20,000 stipends for 774,000 participants of the ESPW program yesterday.

The statement read in part, “For those who do not have problems with their BVNs but have not received payments, they should go to the banks that registered them to clarify the issues.

“The banks are mandated to issue ATM cards to all participants. Participants are therefore encouraged to collect their ATM cards from the banks to access their payments from various cash points without necessarily going to the banks.

“Participants are assured that their stipends would be paid as soon as all issues are resolved.

“Consequently, selected participants are at liberty to approach any of the seven selected banks nearest to the Local Government where they were selected. The Banks are Access, FCMB, Fidelity, Heritage, UBA, Yobe MFB, and Zenith.

“So far, the NDE has authorized the payments of one-month stipends to all those that have been verified. As shown above, all parties are making strenuous efforts to resolve issues of those yet to receive the first month stipends before the commencement of the second tranche of payments.”

DAILY POST recalls that the SPW program planned to employ 1,000 Nigerians from every 774 Local Government Areas in the country.

The initiative ran into delays following the power play between Keyamo and the Director-General, National Directorate of Employment, Dr. Nasiru Mohammed Ladan Argungu, who was sacked last December.

Every one of the 774,000 workers will get N20,000 monthly for three months duration of the job.

President Muhammadu Buhari had since directed a release of funds to pay stipends to the 774,000 participants of the Special Public Works (SPW) program.
