By Muhammad Bashir. 

Many beneficiaries of the Zamfara State government social investment program, ZASIP have expressed their fear over the delay in the payment of their November stipends. 

Many beneficiaries of the scheme have described the delay in their payment as unfortunate, saying that the state government has vowed to make the payment on Friday 29th November 2019, but only few have received alerts.

A beneficiary said even though some beneficiaries have decried  the delay of the ZASIP allowances on the stipulated date, the government would surely address the situation.

"I am optimistic that governor Matawalle would not deceive Zamfara state citizens in this matter, the money would be paid, I am sure" said the beneficiary. 

Speaking to the Chairman social empowerment programmes, ZASIP, Alhaji Sufyanu Bashir Yuguda, assured that the payment would soon be made, adding that Zamfara state government has already set aside the money for the empowerment program. 

Yuguda said that the possible reasons behind the delay to some beneficiaries must be due to incomplete details during registration, lack of bank account details, but not a problem from the government. 

Yuguda disclosed that the the state government has engaged over 8, 075 beneficiaries on the programme.  

ZASIP is the job creation and empowerment programme of Zamfara State Social Investment Programme (ZASIP) revived by Governor Bellows Muhammad Matawalle.

PRIME NEWS TIME has observed that the state government has started paying the monthly allowance to some batches of the beneficiaries, and as the time of filing this report, several beneficiaries we're on the process of receiving their stipends through their bank accounts.
