N-Power Batch C Applicants Continue To Wait For Deployment

N-Power Batch C applicants continue to wait for their deployment despite the fact that many of them have been verified.

AllNews understands that Federal Government is currently screening applicants, and has not deployed successful candidates to their Place of Primary Assignments (PPAs).

"We are looking through the list of applicants and it might take a while. If you qualify to move on the next stage, we will reach out to you," a message sighted by this reporter on the National Social Investment Management System (NASIMS) portal reads.

Hundreds of applicants have already gone through the biometrics verification.

In June, the FG announced that 550,000 applicants -- out of 1.8 million -- qualified for the final selection of N-Power Batch C.

“By the third week of May 2021, over 1.8 million Nigerians successfully updated their records and took the compulsory online test.

“Further screening was undertaken and a short-list of 550,000 applicants qualified for the final selection to engage 500,000 nationwide to serve as the first stream of the N-Power Batch C programme.

“This is the Batch C 1. The second batch of another 500,000 will subsequently be made in line with Mr President’s directive to engage 1,000,000 beneficiaries under the Batch C.

“The 550,000 short-listed applicants are being individually contacted via their e-mail addresses provided and are first advised to check and then immediately log-on to the NASIMS self-service portal and enroll their biometric data to qualify for final selection,” Sadiya Farouq, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development had said.

To date, there is no fresh update to this recruitment exercise. N-Power Batch C application portal closed August 8th, 2020.
