Npower Payment: NASIMS Commence Npower Batch C October Payment, Removes November Payroll Status

Following the statement released by NASIMS last week Thursday on initiating October outstanding payments, some beneficiaries of Npower batch c have testified of receiving their October stipend.

“Dear Npower Batch C1 Beneficiaries, outstanding payment process initiated. We are pleased to inform you that the outstanding payment process for the month of October has been initiated. While you wait for your Account to be credited, we sincerely apologize for all the inconveniences the payment delay may have caused you and appreciate your patience and faith kept so far on us”, NASIMS appealed last week.

One of the Npower beneficiaries who received his payment was disturbed by the payment narration which reads, “PRB/NASIMS SUSPENSE AC/OCT 2021/STIP”

Another beneficiary complained that his October payment status has been removed. He said “my October payment was removed. It was pending but now nothing… What’s the problem??”

However, some Npower batch c beneficiaries claimed to have received their October stipend despite the processing/pending status showing on the dashboard.

“My September payment status is still processing even after I’d been paid. My October payment status is not even showing and I was paid early this morning.”

“My dashboard was showing pending but I don received alert already”.

The Npower batch C beneficiaries are been owed October, November, and December 2021, stipends which some of the beneficiaries assumed it will be paid cumulatively. This assumption was further validated on Friday when NASIMS added the November payroll tab on the Npower dashboard, representing a double payment (October and November 2021) disbursement.

However, the National Social Investment Management System (NASIMS) has changed its disbursement plans, and would rather clear all outstanding payments separately. This implies that all October outstanding stipends will be cleared before the November stipend, followed by the December stipend.

“The removal of November payment earlier added to payroll tab today was deemed appropriate after careful review to halt an error ensuring simultaneous payment and hitch-free payment gateway is achieved.

“Recall, we had earlier stated the payment pattern deployed to clear the outstanding (payment shall be made separately). Be rest assured all outstanding will be cleared, we are poised to serve you better”, NASIMS clarified.
