Sa’adiya Farouq And N-Power Beneficiaries

Since the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Hajiya Sa’adiya Umar Farouq, announced the federal government’s decision to exclusively absorb batches A and B of Npower beneficiaries into the federal government’s ministries, departments, agencies, and parastatals, Sadiya Umar Farooq, she has been getting kudos for this quite impressive resolution. This move has definitely raised hope, ambition, and spirit of the affected beneficiaries. 

On a daily basis, we have been hearing recruitment exercises in various ministries and government agencies, as a consequence, if the government can inject fresh hands into the so-called bloated federal bureaucracy, why can’t it employ Npower beneficiaries? Besides, they have spent almost three years receiving N30,000 as monthly stipends, without sufficient provision of transition programmes as promised by government. Recall that we all displayed our displeasure and great dissatisfaction towards government’s earlier intention to disengage Npower volunteers from the scheme. 

Regrettably, in as much as the nation’s wealth continues to give undue favours to elected officials, while leaving the majority to languish in abject poverty, I see no reason why the affected beneficiaries will not demand for either permanent employment or valuable package to establish their own businesses. Therefore, if the government officials take time to evaluate, or more so, determine the implications of their actions or inactions, they will hardly contemplate their disengagement from the initial stage. 

In view of the prevailing high unemployment and inflation rates; with most graduates desperately seeking to grab any available opportunity to get employed, to lay off those volunteers after they’ve been on monthly pay might possibly pose a serious threat to the nation’s well-being. I can bet to say there exist a hundred thousand graduates who have graduated after the engagement of batches A and B into the program, but yet, they don’t have even a smidgen of hope of finding a job. Recent revelation about the huge number of Npower applicants will reinforce this assertion. 

That’s why if the Muhammadu Buhari government failed to fulfill its pledge for permanent employment for batches A and B, respectively, the affected beneficiaries will continue to show their disappointment. Whilst I commend those who start-up their businesses from N30,000 Npower monthly allowances, however, with no intention to cheapen the importance of the program, but I can wager to say, it would be very difficult to use that N30,000 to attend your place of work, and at the same time save something to start-up your own business from this paltry amount. 

Although the exact details of that absorption are still sketchy, but yet, the beneficiaries still believe the mode of expression in Sa’adiya Farouq’s press statement was full of hope and unwavering determination. It’s left to be seen when the process of absorbing them into the MDAs will commence. Sooner or later, we expected the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social  Investment program to roll out procedures and arrangements for this absorption. This is because, when this information was given by the media aide of Sa’adiya Farouq, it was greeted with deluge of reactions from fear, despair, uncertainty to sudden enthusiastic commendations and jubilations. 

Unbelievable scenes of cheerful commentaries in various Npower social media blogs were the motive that prompted me to add credit to the federal government’s move for Npower beneficiaries to be absorbed into the MDAs. It has been awesome seeing great admiration through Npower social media platforms among the exiting beneficiaries who have desperately clamoured for this need. 

Sa’adiya Umar Farouq should ensure that their expression of genuine compliments to this gladdening news shouldn’t end with disappointment. No doubt, some beneficiaries have begun to despair of ever finding themselves being gainfully employed into the government agencies. But with the minister’s announcement, the exited Npower beneficiaries received a beam light about their future.

N-Power Beneficiaries Stipend Payment Updates for July 2020

As usual N-Power Batch A and B volunteers have been expecting their July stipends as promised by N-Power, yet it seem the payment is not fort coming, so a lot of N-Power volunteers have started throwing questions  about N-Power July and N-Power August exit packages, plus N-Power exit transition so we decided to make a post touching the areas of N-Power stipends payment and N-Power contact details.

N-Power actually do not have a specific time or date of payment, as of March to June stipends payment for June stipends started at mid week of Of August 2020, so today i will tell you npower likely date of payment for N-Power July and August stipends 2020.

N-Power may likely start crediting volunteers' account starting from this Month September because according to Sadiya Umar Farouk, N-Power June and July stipends payment has been approved, that was why N-Power dispatched June payment so it’s remaining July payment of which the payment is likely to start next week, many N-Power volunteers have not even received June stipends some are yet to be paid March stipends a lot of you are being owned so many months of stipends unpaid, example many months of N-Power backlog payment that is yet to be cleared.

If you are yet to receive your N-Power stipends payment, i will advice you on one thing, you have to write to N-Power because the response is faster and more positive when you write to N-Power through every N-Power verified and known social media platforms, a lot of N-Power volunteers have had their stipends issues permanently solved, you can contact N-Power on twitter and N-Power on Facebook and Instagram or you can write N-Power using email, here is the N-Power email contact details where you can channel your N-Power problems for speedy solutions, N-Power contact email addresses at apply2018@npvn.ng  and apply@npvn.ng or you can call N-Power support lines by dailing any of this hotlines

N-Power Abuja Volunteers Transition Data Collection Announcement

Many things concerning the N-Power Scheme have recently taken place few weeks ago. Different kinds of information about N-Power volunteers were asked. Some were genuine while a lot were not.

Their are two reasons for requesting the N-Power volunteers to submit their details:

1. A request to Focal Persons from Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs Disaster Management and Social Development to compile a comprehensive list of already exited N-Power volunteers (those who have exited prior to the final disengagement of the N-Power volunteers in the month of June and July, 2020). Though many states will not have the comprehensive list, some do not even have any at all.

2. Recently a template was sent to Focal Persons to get the N-Power volunteers to write their NPVN ID, their names and to indicate if they are interested in the Transition.

So based on request No.1 above, many states came up with different ways of collecting information from their N-Power volunteers. These were shared on various social media, thereby causing lots of confusion.

FCT already has a comprehensive data of all N-Power volunteers that absconded, resigned or died during the programme (except those that resigned online and those that absconded from their places of work and reported to N-Power Head office by the N-Power Monitoring team).

Similarly we have the data of all those that applied for reposting from one PPA to another and even few women that applied for maternity leave officially.

Therefore with the records we have, I don't think we will need any information from N-Power  volunteers regarding the first request from the Ministry.

However, regarding the second request in which the Ministry is requesting the Focal Persons to get the details of N-Power volunteers that are interested in transition programme, we have decided to share the forms with you via social media.

Therefore, you are please expected to organize yourselves according to your PPA. Choose a coordinator among you that will coordinate the filling of the form. Once the form has been filled by the N-Power volunteers in a particular PPA, the coordinator will get the list typed and send it to fctabujanpower@gmail.com

Please NOTE the followings:

Only forms filled by the N-Power volunteers in their respective PPAs and sent to the email by the selected coordinator will be accepted.

Submission of details through SMS, whatpp will also not be accepted.

Submission by an individual will not be entertained (it has to be collectively done).

Any N-Power volunteer that is still keeping or still holding any materials that belongs to his/her PPA or school records and did not submit it back to his PPA will have his name removed from the list after compilation.

Kindly follow the above instructions strictly.

Thank you.

Yerima A. B.

FCT Npower Head
