N-power 2020/2021 Salary Structure (N-power Batch C)

Many applicants of the Batch C N-power Programme have been asking questions on the Salary Structure of the 2020/2021 Batch C N-power Programme coordinated by the National Social Investment Management System (NASIMS) under the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development. 

First of all, let's start by making it clear that N-power does not pay Salary. This is because it is not a permanent employment. It is just a poverty alleviation, trainee/job creation or better called, empowerment programme. N-power only pays monthly Stipends to the beneficiaries.  

With the changes in the current structure of the N-power Programme, it is expected that there will be changes in the Stipends paid to the beneficiaries. Other things affected by the changes are Duration and Devices.

Amount to be paid to Batch C N-power Beneficiaries

Graduate Category: 

Before 2020, there were 3 graduate categories of N-power viz: N-Teach, N-Health and N-Agro. But with the current change, there are only 2 graduate categories of N-power. They are N-Teach and N-Health.

Beneficiaries under the Graduate Category of N-power (N-Teach and N-Health) will be N30,000 only.

Non-Graduate Category: 

Currently, Non-Graduate category of N-power includes N-Agro, N-Build and other Sub-categories of N-power such as N-Creative, N-Tech etc.

All Non-Graduate category of N-power are paid a monthly Stipend of N10,000, unless otherwise stated by the concerned Ministry. 

However, sub-categories of N-power such as N-Build, N-Creative, N-Tech have other benefits. For Instance, those in N-Build will recieve Tool Box containing all requisite tools needed in a beneficiary's department or sector.

Those in N-Creative, N-Tech also recieve tools that enhances each beneficiary's skills such as a free Laptop.
