It was a dramatic moment in the capital city of Nigeria as some frustrated Npower beneficiaries and their children were seen protesting against non payment of July, August stipends and backlogs for previous months.



They also appeal to the Federal Government and honourable minister Sadiya Umar Farouq for the extension of the program to at least two years like that of preceding batches A and B.
