He said:
“Buhari have financed the programme in a timely manner and that is why we have been able to pay stipends to the ex-agitators.
“We are probably the first government agency every month, that’s able to pay stipends or remuneration.
“So I can assure you that except for failures of payment system, which is nobody’s fault, it’s just based on technology. By the 20th of every month, stipends are paid."
On entrepreneurship, the PAP boss said that there were some initiatives that with the passing of the 2023 budget, the programme would set up cooperatives.
According to him, the idea behind the cooperatives will be for these same ex-agitators who will become the administrators and managers of their own destinies. We will attach experts to these cooperatives.
