The Federal Government says it will prosecute N-Power volunteers that are receiving monthly stipends but refuse to appear at their primary places of assignment.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Job Creation, Mr. Afolabi Imoukhuede, disclosed this at a News Agency of Nigeria’s forum on Wednesday.
He said government had discovered 17 N-power volunteers that had been receiving salaries since December but refused to go to their primary places of assignment.
“Because in the school where I identified them, their dutiful colleagues, the volunteers who are the true ambassadors of N-power, were there and they know these people.
“So, if we don’t investigate and prosecute them, they (dutiful ones) will be discouraged.
“They must remain motivated to continue to work regardless of what season it is; rainy season, dry season or what have you,’’ he said.
