Meanwhile, the House
of Representatives had expressed worry over the inconsistency in the money

by the House on Wednesday, June 17, the assistant director of N-Power, Nsikak
Okon, spoke on behalf of the scheme. Whereas Okon informed the House that
N421,525,909,355 has been spent in four years, the agency had stipulated that
the sum of N474,961,312,112.42 was expended since inception.
