As the year is running out, Npower Batch C Stream 2 beneficiaries are eagerly waiting for their first payment this December after the management of Npower confirmed that payment processes have been initiated.
Investors King earlier reported that NASIMS, the management platform of Npower informed batch C Stream 2 beneficiaries that it has initiated the payment process for their monthly stipend.
Npower beneficiaries are paid between N10,000 to N40,000, depending on the various segments available in the Npower scheme. Some of these segments include Npower Teach, Npower Agro, Npower Creative and Npower Health.
While it is a few days to the end of the year, a number of Npower beneficiaries have trooped to social media, asking and pleading for the payment of their stipend ahead of the Christmas celebration.
One of the beneficiaries with the name Ola Awosetan said “The best Christmas gift Npower can give is to pay our four months’ backlogs”.
Another beneficiary with the name Charles Owoade hoped that Npower will pay them before the year runs out, stating that he checks his dashboard almost every hour for updates.
Meanwhile, amid the recent revelation by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) that over 133 million Nigerians are living in poverty, the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development (FMHADMSD) has stated that it is not relenting in saving Nigerians from poverty and unemployment through its numerous programmes.
The ministry in a statement added that it is working round the clock through its National Social Investment Programme (NSIP) to lift millions of Nigeria from poverty and enhance social protection for the most vulnerable.
Established in 2016, Npower is one of the cardinal programmes of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development with the aim to train and empower millions of Nigerian youth.
As Npower, other programmes under the National Social Investment Programme (NSIP) include condition cash transfer among others.
