NPower Batch C Captured in 2021 Budget To Resume January Ends December 2021

The incoming NPower Batch C of the NPower scheme will be on-boarded January 2021, and will commence work same year.

NPower registration portal is still on, as at 3rd of August 2020, more than six million applicants have applied for NPower Batch C programme.

The Minister For Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development  Sadiya Umar Farouq recently forwarded her 2021 proposed budget to the Federal Government last week.

NPower Batch C will wait for a while before being On-boarded and commence work. Apparently, there is little to no fund to commence NPower Batch C this year. 

NPower Batch C application will finally end 8th of August, according to the NPower official Facebook and Twitter Handle.

NPower registration started late June, spanned through the month of July, and will officially come to an end first week of August 2020, all things being equal.

Only 400,000 applicants will make it through to the on-boarding stage, a rigid procedure is already in place to screen out unqualified applicants.

The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Hajiya Sadiya Umar Farouq is pleased to conduct a Free, fair, transparent and credible recruitment.

In no distant time, further instructions will be made known as to the next stage of the NPower recruitment exercise.

All applicants are advised to stay tuned to the official page of the scheme to get authentic and reliable information.

Nigerians have welcomed the launch of the NPower Batch C as it would avail the same opportunity to other young Nigerians to learn a skill set as well as earn stipends.

NPower Beneficiaries Will Be Missed In Secondary Schools

The silence with respect to NPower Batch A and NPower Batch B transitioning by the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs will surely affect activities in schools where NPower volunteers have contributed immensely towards positive growth and development of these schools.

Although, the management of NPower have disengaged the NPower Batch A and NPower Batch B beneficiaries, it seems the services of the disengaged NPower beneficiaries are still needed in some schools where they are deployed to across the federation.

An NPower beneficiary received an SMS from his place of primary assignment yesterday morning about a staff meeting scheduled to hold yesterday 3rd August 2020 at the school hall, agenda of the day includes preparation of the school compound ahead of school resumption, preparation of the exiting students towards their forthcoming external examination, etc.

The interesting part was that the message indicated that he is the chairman of the committee as the only male teacher in the school, but this was a big blow to his headteacher when he failed to attend the meeting.

The Ministry should have concluded NPower Batch C recruitment before exiting the NPower Batch A and NPower Batch B beneficiaries. The School will feel the pain and vacuum of resuming without NPower beneficiaries.
