N-Power Apologizes to Applicants, Says Its Technical Error

The 2017/2018 N-Power physical verification and release of successful applicants name has been controversial with some uncertainty from the first day till the time scheduled for the names to be accessed by the public.

First, the platform revealed that some applicants (about 300,000) were shortlisted as being successful but said that they can only check their names on the 20th of November 2017 starting from 11.30pm but when it was time, people who anxiously logged in to the Npower website to check theirs weren't able to access the site. This led to some of the applicants angrily ranting on social media and raining curses on the FG and people in charge.

Now, it seems the issue has been resolved as N-Power has sent apology message to the general public, claiming it was a technical issue. Below is the message;

We apologize to the men and women who kept vigil with us from 11.30pm.
Yes, we experienced some technical difficulty but it has been addressed now and applicants can log in to see their pre-selection status.

Now let's know if you were able to check yours.

Daniel From N-Power Returned N60,000 and Got N300,000 Reward

Last week, former N-Power benefactor Daniel Joshua of Taraba state, returned N60,000 to the Federal Government after he was mistakenly paid the monthly N30,000 stipend for two months when he resigned from the scheme but his patriotism has gained him N300,000 courtesy of Nigerians who paid him for his truthfulness.

Joshua made news when he refunded two months of stipends he was paid by the job creation scheme after he duly resigned after getting a new job with another federal government agency.

According to Mr Afolabi Imoukhuede, the Presidential Aide on Job Creation, five Nigerians called N-Power officials to collect bank details of the honest Joshua and each had repaid the equivalent of what he returned.

Imoukhuede, who announced this when he addressed N-Power volunteers in Akwa Ibom at the state secretariat complex, said his office was inundated with calls to commend the former volunteer’s exemplary behaviour.

“As at Wednesday morning five Nigerians have paid N300,000 back to Joshua for being an agent of change in the country,’’ the Senior Special Assistant to the President said.

Accordingly, he urged volunteers who had secured employments elsewhere and still kept the N-Power job to emulate their former colleague by relinquishing one job to maintain their honour and dignity.

Imoukhuede remarked that those who thought that N-Power was an opportunity to defraud the federal government or to get their own part of the national cake should drop such wrong ideas.

“N-Power is not cake sharing scheme as there is no cake to be shared.

“If you have another job that conflicts with this full time volunteer community programme, you have to decide today which one to take and the one to drop.

“You must emulate Joshua’s kind of honour,’’ he advised.

Imoukhuede informed the volunteers that the direct payment of stipends to them conferred a lot of responsibilities on the beneficiaries.

He said that volunteers who remained diligent in the work would find fulfilment in the programme.

He added that chronic truants would be fished out, dismissed and be forced to return all stipends paid to them, adding that such persons will be prosecuted.

“We are convinced that the 774 local government areas and 36 states and FCT are benefitting from the N-Power scheme.

“Every Nigerian is a stakeholder in N-Power and like the Acting President said on May 29th anniversary the employment scheme is not a favour but the right of the youths,’’ said the presidential aide.

He said that government was aware of the unemployment challenges facing the youths, adding that the volunteer scheme is one of many ways the federal government planned to address the challenges.

“This scheme is real and working,’’ he said, and advised graduates seeking for employment to utilise the ongoing application to be empowered.

He assured that every skill that would enhance the employability of the youths would be imparted to them with loads of materials in the scheme’s portal.

Earlier, the Commissioner for Economic Development, Labour and Manpower Planning, Mr Idorenyin Udo, advised the volunteers to be level headed and obey their supervisors because “out of this little, great things can come”.

According to him, this programme is real and the 3,040 of you that are in the scheme in our state are not a rented party crowd.

“This is an opportunity that has been given to us by President Muhammadu Buhari and no one knows the intention of the Federal Government at the end of the two years.

“This is why your commitment is needed so that such benefits will not be lost,’’ he said.

The commissioner assured that the state was gaining experience in the programme and would address all the challenges facing the participants.

N-Power 2017: Over 1million Applications ReceivedAlready

The Federal Government’s youth employment scheme, N-Power, has seen over 1.1million graduates apply in just one week.

The Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Job Creation, Mr Afolabi Imoukhuede, dropped the hint in Asaba during an interaction with beneficiaries of the scheme in Delta.

He warned those who perpetually absented from work or were irregular in attendance, that they would be demobilised and replaced with applicants resident in the state.

Imoukhede said that in 2016, at least 751,000 applicants qualified for engagement, including 300,000 for non-graduate scheme. But 300,000 graduates were recruited nationwide.

He explained that the non-advertisement of the non-graduate recruitment programme in 2017, was to enable those who applied for it last year to be selected.

N-Power is a Federal Government of Nigeria programme under the social investment programme for job creation and empowerment initiatives. It is a programme of the FGN to help reduce unemployment by helping them to create jobs and engaging them in activities while unemployed and paying them about N30,000 stipend on monthly basis.

However, the FG decided to introduce a second batch of N-Power registration this year 2017 with some slight adjustments from the first batch. Therefore we are here to guide you on how to complete your N-Power 2017 registration, upload your data including the mandatory BVN and other information you need. Here are some changes to the previous process.

1. BVN will be auto searched by site before proceeding to the next phase. If BVN exists then one is cleared to proceed. this development is not unconnected with series of problems faced with unmatched, incorrect BVN in the first batch registration.

2. The second phase registration is more of an interactive interphase. Applicants don't just upload data and go, the test which erstwhile was written separately at a slated date will be written immediately by applicants to complete their registration.

NOTE: Based on the few points above, i'd like to reiterate that prospective applicants should be fully involved and be physically present in the process of registration to proofread their info and write their test.

The issuance of forms in this phase will not be possible for obvious reasons, so i urge all to take this phase serious and get
