N-Power: N-EXIT A Loan, Not A Grant Nor Reward

Lots of N-Power Batch A and B exited volunteers have been asking the question if the N-EXIT package is a reward or grant to be given to Npower Volunteers for their services rendered.

Please the N-EXIT package is not a grant neither is it a reward or "free" money as some N-Power volunteers might tag it.

The N-EXIT package is a loan, that is meant to be repaid after its tenure, the interest rate remains unknown at this period, but the Federal Government and the Ministry for Finance have promised a robust package for exited N-Power volunteers.

N-Power: You Are Being Owed 5 Months Backlogs, Please Read This

If you are an N-Power Batch A and B exited volunteer, and you are being owed 5 months backlogs, it might be that you were erroneously flagged for payment issues, or you were erroneously reported as an abscondee by your Departmental Head or by your Principal, whichever the case the deed has been done, so the question is what do you do?

Firstly, if you have been flagged for payment issues, please I repeat do not relax or rest on your laurels, please proceed to your secretariat, I do not mean your local government secretariat, i mean your state secretariat, for example if an N-Power Volunteer hails from Lagos State, the N-Power Volunteer's secretariat is at the capital of the state which is at Alausa, Ikeja.

Please when you get to the state secretariat ask for your state N-Power focal person, if the N-Power focal person is unavailable, proceed to the State Government Ministry, for instance if you are an N-Teach Volunteer, proceed to the Ministry for Education at the secretariat, have all your documents intact, if possible your bank statements of account printed by your bank from the date you received payment till when your payment was halted.

Please try as much as possible to resolve your payment issues, because all N-Power volunteers flagged for payment issues will not be receiving the N-EXIT package when it commences.

N-Power: Please Ignore The Rumour That N-Power Stream 1 Is Delayed Due To Insufficient Funds

There is an information on air, that the N-Power Batch C 1 has been delayed due to insufficient funds, please this information is not true, baseless and from individuals trying to undermine this good initiative from the Federal Government.

The reason why I said the information is untrue is because recently the ministry has been unraveling several N-SIP programs, and these programs gulps huge amounts of funds, so saying that the Federal Government is broke is just ridiculous.

In addition to this, the federal government recently approved the supplementary budget for the National Social Investment programs.

The delay on the implementation of the N-Power physical verification is just based on little logistic issues, which will be sorted out soon.

N-Power: How To Fix "Blank Test Score" Issue On NASIMS Portal

Please if you are an N-Power Batch C applicant and you have taken the test, please ignore the retake test button, as your previous score is already in the N-Power NASIMS database.

Most N-Power Batch C applicants have been trying to click on the "take test" button because their score is no longer appearing on the N-Power NASIMS portal.

The reason for the disappearance of your score might just be due to some online technical issues, and might also result from the NASIMS technical support working from the back end.

I repeat if you have written the test regardless of whether your score is showing or not, please do not retake the test.

N-Power: Please If You Are A Corper Apply For The Non-graduate Category

Please if you are a Corper and want to participate in the N-Power Batch C program, please you are to apply under the N-Power Batch C non-graduate category, otherwise you may have to complete your NYSC before applying for the N-Power program when the upcoming batch commences.

Reason is because, during the N-Power physical screening exercise, you will be required to provide your NYSC discharge certificate, except you have it before the physical verification commences, you will not be able to progress beyond the N-Power physical verification stage.

So please to avoid disheartening issues, it is best to comply with the instructions of the N-Power program before even applying from the onset.
