The meeting was aimed at providing further clarity on the ministry’s efforts to ensure the payment of their outstanding allowances.
The beneficiaries expressed their excitement over recent developments regarding their payments when the minister announced that the president had approved and was prepared to settle their overdue allowances soon.
Professor Nentawe informed the beneficiaries that the president is eager to address any issues directly affecting the welfare of the Nigeria youth.
He revealed that the president had recently signed another approval for the payments, and his ministry is collaborating closely with the Federal Ministry of Finance and other relevant federal agencies to ensure a prompt and efficient start to the backlog payments.
