The minister blamed the delay in transition on the previous cluster heads not preparing plans to engage volunteers even before they came onboard  

She said “This is corroborated by the fact that when the N-Power programme was transferred to the ministry late last year, there was no plan for either automatic employment into public service or private sector or for transition to entrepreneurship put in place for them before the take over by the Ministry”
