The Npower Protest Goal Is Not About Minister Sack Reported By Sahara Reporters - Says Volunteers

Beneficiaries of the N-Power programme held a National protest today to lay down their grievances to the Federal Government on the planned exit without any package, non-payment of June stipend and issues of backlog and also to demand Permanency for members.

The protest which took place in Abuja had Beneficiaries from 36 states in attendance.

However, the Beneficiaries including the N-Power Lagos Facebook page, have taken to social media to say that Sahara Reporters was wrong to have reported that the protesters demanded the minister saddled with the affairs of the programme to be removed.

They said that Sahara Reporters, an online news portal, is known for reporting fake news and was rated to have been sponsored to "spoil" things for the Beneficiaries.
