Npower Batch C Latest Update on October and November Stipend Payment, Stream 2 commencement

While many beneficiaries of the Batch C Stream 1 Npower Programme are waiting for the payment of their September Stipend, beneficiaries who had recieved their September Stipends are in eager to know the date for the payment of October and November Stipends.

The National Social Investment Management System (NASIMS), responding to many of such enquiries, has clarified that it can not exactly state the date for the commencement of the Npower Batch C Stream 1 October and November Stipends payment to the beneficiaries.

NASIMS explained that the payment cycle takes time after beneficiaries accounts have been validated, adding that payment of the beneficiaries is not actually executed by the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development.

The Npower Management clarified that after the validation of the beneficiaries bank accounts, the account information are forwarded to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) who then disburses the Stipends to Financial Institutions (Banks).

The banks within the processing period transfers the payment to the beneficiaries account as a PAID stipend for the month.

NASIMS however encouraged the Npower beneficiaries to remain patient as their October and November Stipends would be paid any time soon.

The current position of NASIMS quells the rumour peddled by mongers asserting that they have recieved their October Stipend as observed in some Npower Social Groups.

In a recent development, the National Social Investment Management System has quashed a claim by a FRAUDULENT website https://npower-fmhds-gov-ng.web.app that successful beneficiaries of the Batch C Stream 2 Npower Programme have been shortlisted.

The website requests for Card Payment of N500 from applicants who wish to be enlisted in the supplementary List purported by the fraudsters.

NASIMS clarified that Npower Batch C Stream 2 has not COMMENCED, adding that NPOWER/NASIMS can not and will NEVER request for monitory payment from applicants to be enlisted/shortlisted in any of the programs, as such deceptive approach contradicts the purpose of the Scheme and what it stands for.
