- Npower August Monthly Stipend: Payment for the monthly of August to all Npower Batch C Stream 1 beneficiaries has passed from the PENDING state and the PROCESSING state to the PAID state. What this means is that Batch C 1 beneficiaries have started receiving alert that their August stipend has dropped into their respective bank accounts.
However, the NASIMS Dashboard of few beneficiaries is still at the PENDING or PROCESSING stage. If this is the case with yours, kindly note that there is no cause for alarm yet. Npower monthly stipends are paid out in batches, so expect to receive your own credit alert soon, except for any technical issues.
Moreover, the delay in the processing of the payment could be as a result of technical hitches, either with the NASIMS Npower payment platform or with some banks. Kindly confirm from your bank if the issue persists for too long. You can also reach out to the NASIMS Npower official s via the appropriate communication channels to lodge your complaints.
