The Federal Government has announced the commencement of the selection process for 500,000 Batch C participants who showed interest in the N-Power Programme.
This was disclosed by the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Farouq, during the inauguration of the National Social Investment Management System (NASIMS) on Thursday.
NASIMS is a portal developed for easy coordination, deployment and management of the selection process.
Speaking at the event, Farouq said one million persons would benefit from the selection process.
She said, “We have reached another milestone in the process of recruiting and onboarding of the Batch C N-Power beneficiaries beginning with 500,000 beneficiaries.
“The N-Power Batch C as inaugurated today is structured to onboard one million new beneficiaries, beginning with an initial 500,000 beneficiaries in the first stream.
“A subsequent 500,000 beneficiaries in a second stream, all aligned to the national policy drive of lifting 100 million people out of abject poverty in 10 years.”
However, the minister added that all participants who are on the NASIMS platform will undergo a mandatory online test which is a part of the selection process.
Farouq also said the programme will be for a period of one year with a monthly pay of N30, 000 for each participant.
