The Minister for Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Umar Farouk, said Independent Monitors recruited to monitor the Batch A and B of the N-Power programme as well as other National Social Investment Programmes (NSIP) have been disengaged by the ministry.
She said this in a statement released by Deputy Director Information of the ministry, Rhoda Iliya.
The statement also stated that within a week of the commencement of the enrollment of beneficiaries for the N-Power Batch C, over 3 million applicants have enrolled.
The government said it intends to absorb about 400,000 beneficiaries for the Batch C programme of the N-Power.
The statement reads in part, “Enrolment of beneficiaries for N-power Batch C commenced on Friday June 26th 2020 and has received over 3 Million applications since the portal opened.
“The application process will be concluded as soon as possible to provide additional Nigerian youths access to the programme.”
The Ministry also announced the disengagement of Independent Monitors recruited to monitor Batch A and B of the N-Power programme as well as other National Social Investment Programmes (NSIP).
As we commence the transition of Batch A and B N-Power beneficiaries, the ministry will conclude activities of the Independent Monitors enrolled with those two batches by 31st July 2020.
“The Federal Government appreciates their support during the period of engagement and looks forward to on-boarding a new set of monitors with the roll-out of the Integrated National Social Investment Programme, set to kick off when the new N-Power Batch C beneficiaries come onboard”.
