Monthly stipends of Npower Beneficiaries to be included in the payroll platform of the Federal Government gives strong hope of permanency and a pensionable benefit at the long run while beneficiaries of the Npower Scheme have all cost to smile as Stipend is now included into the Federal Government (FG) payroll system.

Before now, the Government uses National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT) to deliver stipends into beneficiaries account via Nigerian interbank settlement system, controlled by Remita.

A holistic look at workers in the FG payroll platform, will give volunteers a clear view of what the future holds and what is to come as OSUN REPORTERS NEWS will unlock all the facts steering at volunteers as the FG includes Npower beneficiaries into her payroll system as many volunteers have been clamoring for permanecy as a right to all volunteers as citizens of the Federal Republic.

Volunteers’ earnings at month end will no longer be called stipends but Salary. All workers in the FG payroll system receive salaries. If volunteers were to be paid stipends, their payment platform won’t be included in FG payroll platform. They will rather maintain the previous remitta payment platform triggered by states.
Ministries, Agencies and Departments all have their payments status as salaries coming from the Federal Government, in this format FGN/FEDER.
