N-Power to Establish Offices in All 774 Local Gov’t Across the Country, To Recruit More Beneficiaries

In a recent announcement, Dr. Betta Edu, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, unveiled plans to revamp the N-Power scheme, ensuring it accommodates more individuals and guarantees the prompt payment of beneficiaries’ stipends. The minister’s statement, as reported by her Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Mr. Rasheed Zubair, in Abuja, also revealed the ministry’s long-term goal of establishing humanitarian hubs in all 774 local government areas in Nigeria. These hubs aim to combat poverty by offering affordable homegrown commodities to the Nigerian population.

Addressing Delayed Stipends

One of the pressing concerns faced by N-Power beneficiaries has been the delay in receiving their stipends. Dr. Betta Edu acknowledged these challenges and emphasized that changes to the program’s modalities are in the works to resolve this issue. “We will change the modalities so that people will get their delayed stipends, include more people, and relaunch it with a renewed hope concept,” she stated.

 

Expanding N-Power’s Reach

The N-Power program, which was initiated to empower Nigerian youths with skills and financial support, is set to expand its reach. To be part of this opportunity, there are specific steps you need to take:

1. Update Your N-Power Profile: If you are an applicant, ensure you update your profile to beneficiary status. This step is crucial to becoming part of the program.

2. Update Your N-Power Deployment Account Details: To ensure smooth stipend payments, beneficiaries are advised to update their deployment account details. This will help streamline the payment process.

Establishing Humanitarian Hubs Nationwide

Beyond the N-Power scheme, Dr. Betta Edu’s ministry has a more ambitious goal of establishing humanitarian hubs in every local government area across Nigeria. These hubs will serve as distribution centers for homegrown commodities that will be made available to Nigerians at affordable rates. This initiative aims to alleviate poverty by providing access to essential goods and fostering economic growth at the grassroots level.

To gather feedback and ensure effective distribution of palliatives, the ministry plans to deploy its staff to all local government areas while also implementing digital tracking systems.

In summary, the N-Power program is gearing up for significant changes, with a focus on addressing delayed stipends, expanding its reach to include more beneficiaries, and establishing humanitarian hubs across Nigeria. By following the necessary steps to update your N-Power profile and deployment account details, you can position yourself to benefit from these upcoming opportunities. Additionally, the ministry’s commitment to eradicating poverty at the grassroots level through the establishment of humanitarian hubs marks a promising step toward a brighter future for Nigeria.
