Latest NPower & NASIMS News Today 11th June 2023

In today’s NPower news, we address the concerns raised by Batch C1 and C2 beneficiaries regarding outstanding stipend payments. The National Social Investment Management System (NASIMS) is actively working to resolve these issues and ensure that all outstanding stipends are cleared.

1. Batch C1 December Stipends: There will be no December stipend payment for Batch C1 beneficiaries as the Batch C1 Npower Programme has concluded. The outstanding stipends being paid to Batch C1 beneficiaries are for September, October, and November 2022. This payment does not indicate an extension of the Batch C1 Programme. If you have already received the September, October, and November stipends, no further stipend payments will be made. If you haven’t received these stipends but have filled the Npower Validation Form, please remain patient as you will receive your payment soon.
2. Npower Batch C2 January to May Stipends: The payment of the January to May stipends for Batch C2 beneficiaries has not yet begun. The payment will commence after the completion of the backlog payments for October, November, and December 2022. It is important to clear the backlogs to ensure a uniform payment process for all Batch C2 beneficiaries. Any news claiming that the payment of the January to May stipends has started is false.
3. Payment Status Display on NASIMS Profile: The payment status is no longer updated on the NASIMS profile for Npower beneficiaries. This change is due to the shift to a new payment platform. To track your stipend payment, regularly check your bank account balance for updates on which backlog payments have been made and which are still pending.
4. Outstanding Stipend Payments: The process of clearing outstanding stipend payments is ongoing. If you are expecting an outstanding stipend payment, we recommend checking your bank account balance regularly for updates on the payments.

Please note that the information provided above is accurate as of June 10th, 2023. Stay tuned for further updates on Npower news and NASIMS-related matters.

1. Subsidy Removal – How Tinubu Can Use Npower/NSIP Program To Cushion Hardship

In the latest Npower news, we explore the potential of the Npower and other NSIP programs in alleviating the hardships caused by subsidy removal. Here are effective strategies that President Tinubu can employ:

1.1 Empowering Entrepreneurship

The Government Enterprise and Empowerment Program (GEEP) should be expanded and restructured to offer comprehensive training and support to individuals and small businesses. By equipping them with skills in business management, financial planning, marketing, and facilitating access to finance, these programs can foster the development of alternative income sources. This approach would reduce dependence on subsidized goods and services.

1.2 Enhancing Vocational and Technical Training

Leveraging the Npower program, the government can provide vocational and technical training to enable individuals to acquire new skills or enhance existing ones. Such efforts would enhance their employability and competitiveness in the job market, thereby increasing their earning potential and reducing reliance on subsidized goods and services. Expanding the Npower program would be a valuable step in this direction.

1.3 Strengthening Social Protection Programs

The National Social Investment Program (NSIP) encompasses crucial initiatives such as the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) and National Home-Grown School Feeding Program (NHGSFP). To combat poverty and provide a safety net for those affected by subsidy removal, these programs should be expanded. Through cash transfers, food subsidies, and healthcare services, vulnerable groups like women, youth, and the elderly can receive targeted support, reducing the adverse impacts of subsidy removal.

To optimize the effectiveness of NSIP programs, it is vital to tailor them to address the specific needs and challenges of the target population. Collaboration with relevant stakeholders, including government agencies, civil society organizations, and private sector actors, can further enhance the implementation of these programs. By equipping individuals and communities with the necessary tools and resources to adapt to the new economic environment, NSIP programs can effectively cushion the impact of subsidy removal.

2. 3 Things To Do If You Are Expecting NPower Outstanding Stipends

We have some exciting news for Batch C1 and Batch C2 Npower beneficiaries regarding the payment of their outstanding stipends. Here are three important actions that Npower beneficiaries should take if they are expecting outstanding stipends:

2.1 Check Your Bank Account

It may come as a surprise, but some beneficiaries have already received their outstanding stipend payments without receiving a credit alert from their banks. Therefore, it is crucial to check your bank account balance. You might be pleasantly surprised to find that your outstanding stipend has been deposited into your account, even if you didn’t receive a notification from your bank.

2.2 Ensure Successful Submission of the Npower Validation Form

If you are expecting outstanding stipends, it is vital to confirm that you have filled out and successfully submitted the Npower Validation Form. Only those beneficiaries who are owed outstanding stipends for specific months will receive payments after completing the validation process. To verify if you have successfully submitted the form, visit the following website: https://validation.nasims.ng/validate. If you have submitted the form successfully, you will receive a notification stating that you can no longer respond to the form because you have already done so.

2.3 Exercise Patience and Avoid Worry

Lastly, it is crucial for all beneficiaries to remain patient throughout the payment process. Efforts are being made to ensure that the outstanding stipends for specific months are cleared within this month. Furthermore, the stipend payments for subsequent months are expected to commence next month. Therefore, it is essential to avoid unnecessary worry and trust that the payment process is being actively addressed.

In summary, Npower beneficiaries are encouraged to stay informed and take the necessary steps to receive their outstanding stipends. By checking bank accounts, confirming successful submission of the Npower Validation Form, and exercising patience, beneficiaries can ensure a smooth payment process.
