The Npower Beneficiaries Association Nationwide has announced plans to resume legal action against the federal government if their long-overdue allowances are not paid by the end of August 2025.
The frustrated beneficiaries expressed their concerns on social media on Tuesday, highlighting the delays in receiving their payments despite a closed-door meeting that took place between the Senate, the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, and representatives from the Npower beneficiaries, along with their legal team and activists.
Agasi Godfrey, one of the five Npower officials who attended the meeting, shared a video on his Facebook page, stating that “if the government does not pay us our allowances before the end of this month, we will return to our lawyers to continue the legal process, as this seems to be what the government wants.”
Another beneficiary criticized the ongoing delay, saying that “the government always comes up with unnecessary excuses every day. They make promises and then abandon them later.”

Mwolgwan Tongs expressed frustration, saying, “Just forget about this group of people. They don’t care about the youth.”
The beneficiaries argued that a responsible and youth-friendly government would prioritize such critical issues that directly impact the lives of young people in the country.
They expressed skepticism and a lack of trust in the current administration, questioning President Tinubu’s ambitions for the 2027 election.
The Npower beneficiaries have vowed to revisit their legal documents and take legal action against the federal government if their unpaid stipends are not resolved within the month.
