N-Power Batch C: What You Should Do When You Need Technical Support

According to Nigerian authorities, N-Power Batch C beneficiaries can get technical support by dialing a USSD code on their phone.

“To ensure that the challenges of communication are addressed, regarding limitation of information flow and internet access across the country, the Ministry has provided access to information via a USSD code. The USSD short code *45665# will provide the required connectivity and technical support for the provision of information services to our beneficiaries," part of a statement on August 23 signed by Nneka Ikem Anibeze, the Special Assistant, Media and Publicity to Sadiya Farouq, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, read.

N-Power is a scheme set up by President Muhammadu Buhari in June 2016, "to address the issues of youth unemployment and help increase social development". It had Batch A and B.
