774,000 Jobs: FG TO BEGIN PAYMENTS TO PARTICIPANTS OF 774,000 JOBS, DISCLOSES HOW TO ACCESS FUNDS

 

The Nigerian government would soon start making payments to Nigerians who were employed from 774 local government areas of the country under the Special Public Works Programme (SPWP). 

The minister of state for labour, Festus Keyamo disclosed in a tweet on Saturday, March 20, that President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the release of the funds for the payment of stipends to the beneficiaries of the programme. 

 Keyamo further stated that he has asked the National Directorate Of Employment (NDE) to start crediting the accounts of those listed in the scheme. 

The minister explained that the participants will be paid using their Bank Verification Number (BVN) in order to prevent fraud or double payments. 

 He, however, warned that candidates who registered with different names different from those used on their bank accounts should not expect payments.
