Latest NPower News for today Tuesday 5th September 2023

A cohort of individuals enrolled in the N-Power Batch “C” program has composed a letter directed to President Bola Tinubu. Their grievances stem from a prolonged absence of regular payments, spanning eight months, which has caused significant hardships for them.

The root cause of this payment hiatus can be attributed to a governmental oversight wherein the funds have not been correctly allocated. The beneficiaries express deep concern and distress regarding their financial predicament.

Their plea to the President is straightforward: to swiftly rectify this issue and, in doing so, restore their faith in the government’s commitment to their well-being.

Government’s Vision for NPower and Other Assistance Programs

Dr. Betta Edu, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, has elaborated on the government’s vision for programs like NPower. The aim is to introduce fresh and innovative approaches to these programs, with the goal of extending their reach to even more individuals. While acknowledging the merits of existing programs, there is a resolute commitment to enhancement, particularly in underserved areas of Nigeria. Additionally, there are plans to establish a fund dedicated to aiding citizens and securing additional resources to support Nigerians.

Positive Update: NPower Payments Continue Under New Leadership

Despite a change in leadership, the disbursement of funds for the NPower program remains ongoing. Npower Nasims, the overseeing organization, has affirmed that payments for the year 2022 are still in progress. For those awaiting their payments, it may take some time, but rest assured that efforts are underway to expedite the process. Furthermore, enhancements to their website are in progress to provide timely updates.
