N-Power Stipends: Fresh Verification Of Beneficiaries Over

The fresh verification of N-Power beneficiaries ordered by the Nigerian government last week has closed, AllNews reports.

Recall AllNews reported on October 6 that the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development directed Batches A and B Beneficiaries of the N-Power Programme who were earlier omitted from payment of their stipends to report to their various State Focal Persons for verification and re-validation.

A statement by Nneka Ikem Anibeze, the Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to Minister Sadiya Farouq stated that the deadline for verification is Tuesday, October 13, 2020.

According to the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, "beneficiaries who fail to attend the verification exercise will forfeit their stipends."

N-Power beneficiaries were entitled to a monthly stipend of N30, 000 (78 United States Dollar).

Application to take in a new batch (C) has ended, AllNews understands.

According to authorities in Nigeria, a huge part of the famed N-Power scheme's design is the up-skilling of beneficiaries.

"Beneficiaries gain experience on the job while also learning intangible yet important soft skills in the work environment," the National Social Investment Office (NSIO) says.
