Npower Beneficiaries Raise Concerns Over Unpaid Stipends Since December Npower beneficiaries have voiced their grievances over the non-payment of stipends since December, leading to five months of outstanding allowances even before President Bola Tinubu’s assumption of office.
Despite the beginning of President Tinubu’s term, the issue of unpaid stipends for these beneficiaries remains unresolved, causing increasing discontent and disappointment among those who rely on these funds for their livelihoods.
Regarding the payment of stipends for Npower batch C beneficiaries, there have been no new payments approved at present. The management is awaiting decisions from President Tinubu on the Npower programme, and the validation process for beneficiaries with unverified accounts is ongoing.
In a letter to the House of Representatives, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu announced a plan to provide N8,000 to 12 million families over six months to alleviate the hardships caused by subsidy removal.
Nasims conducted an interactive session titled “Half Hour With Npower C Beneficiaries” on July 10, 2023, to address concerns raised by Npower Batch C beneficiaries. The following are key points from the session:
Status of C1 Beneficiaries: The Npower C1 program officially ended in August 2022. Additional payments received by C1 beneficiaries for September, October, and November were part of the Nexit package approved by H.M. Sadiya Umar Farouq.
Payment and Program Continuation: The continuation of the Npower program depends on the President’s decision. Nasims cannot provide a definite answer about payment continuation until the program’s status is confirmed.
Payment Date for Outstanding Months: The payment date for the outstanding months owed is unknown as the funds are still awaiting approval from the new administration. Payment initiation will occur once approval is obtained.
Unpaid C1 Beneficiaries: C1 beneficiaries who are waiting for payments for September, October, and November will receive them once funds are approved and made available.
Pre-selected Beneficiaries: Pre-selected beneficiaries should follow the instructions provided in their messages and wait for further directives as they are supplementary to existing C2 beneficiaries.
Account Validation: Account validation links were sent to C2 beneficiaries with incorrect account details. C1 beneficiaries facing payment issues can also utilize this opportunity for account validation.
