The National Social Investment Management System (NASIMS): Updating Npower Batch C Applicants’ Database

The National Social Investment Management System (NASIMS) has taken steps to further engage and include additional applicants from the Npower Batch C into the Batch C2 Npower Program. As part of this process, selected applicants have received text messages requesting them to confirm their status and validate their Npower records through the Npower Account Validation Form.

Overview of NASIMS and Npower Batch C Program

NASIMS is a system established to facilitate the management and administration of social investment programs in Nigeria. One of the key programs under NASIMS is the Npower Batch C initiative, which aims to empower Nigerian youth by providing them with employment opportunities and skills development.

Text messages received by Batch C applicants

Earlier Today, several Batch C applicants who had applied for the Npower program in 2020 received text messages containing important instructions. The messages notified the applicants of their preselection for the Npower Batch C2 program and directed them to validate their status by visiting a designated link.

Below is a sample of the message sent by NASIMS

Two variations of the text messages were reported, as follows:

1. “Dear Applicant, You have been preselected for the N-power Batch C2 program. To confirm your status, visit validation.nasims.ng and validate your records.”
2. “Dear Applicant, You have been preselected for the N-power Batch C2 program. To confirm your status, visit http://kir.am/6/02KD5tPotHCl and validate your records.”

Confirmation and validation process

The purpose of these text messages is to ensure that the selected applicants acknowledge their preselection and proceed with the necessary steps to validate their Npower records. The validation process is crucial for updating the beneficiaries’ database accurately.

Steps to confirm status and update Npower records

To confirm their status and update their Npower records, the applicants need to follow these steps:

1. Open the link provided in the text message. The applicants can use either of the two links mentioned: validation.nasims.ng or http://kir.am/6/02KD5tPotHCl. Both links direct to the same website and serve the same purpose. Upon accessing the webpage, the applicants should carefully read the provided information and click on the “Accept” button to proceed.
2. Enter the Npower ID, which can be found by logging into their NASIMS Dashboard at https://nasims.gov.ng. In case the applicants have forgotten their password, they can click on the “Forgot Password” option and follow the necessary steps to recover it. Once logged in, they should copy and paste their Npower ID, which follows the format NPWR/2020/xxxxxx.
3. Provide their Bank Verification Number (BVN) and click “Next.” This step ensures accurate identification and verification of the applicants’ bank accounts.
4. Enter their National Identification Number (NIN) and click “Next.” The NIN is a unique identification number issued by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) in Nigeria.
5. Enter the bank account details that were submitted during the Npower registration process. This includes selecting the name of their bank (e.g., First Bank, United Bank of Africa, Guarantee Trust Bank, Access Bank, etc.), inputting the 11-digit bank account number, and observing the automatic appearance of the account name in green color. Once all details are entered correctly, the applicants can click “Next.”
6. Review the entered data for accuracy and click “Submit.” It is essential to ensure that all details are correctly provided, as submitted data cannot be changed or resubmitted after this step.

Important reminders

Applicants should be aware of the following important points during the process:

• Pay close attention to the authenticity of the text messages received. The provided messages are confirmed to be genuine and official communications from NASIMS.
• The two links, validation.nasims.ng and http://kir.am/6/02KD5tPotHCl, are identical and lead to the Npower Validation Link, validation.nasims.ng/validation, which facilitates the update of bank account details for unpaid Npower beneficiaries.
• Accurately input all necessary information during the confirmation and validation process, including the Npower ID, BVN, NIN, and bank account details.
