The Federal Government on Saturday dismissed the report that it was making arrangements to absorb N-POWER volunteers into the civil service.
The Deputy Director of Information in the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Rhoda Ishaku Iliya, in a statement in Abuja, asked the public to ignore the report that President Muhammadu Buhari would announce the absorption of the volunteers on June 12.
He added that any information on N-POWER or the National Social Investment Programme (NSIP) would be issued through the appropriate federal government channels.
