The federal government says it has received over three
million applications for 400,000 N-Power jobs in the Batch C programme.
Rhoda Iliya, the deputy director, information, ministry of
humanitarian affairs, disaster management and social development, disclosed
this in a statement on Friday.
The N-Power application for Batch C commenced one week ago.
“Enrolment of beneficiaries for N-Power Batch C commenced on
June 26, 2020 and has received over three million applications since the portal
opened,” Iliya said.
On the previous batches that participated in the programme,
the ministry says it will conclude activities of the independent monitors
enrolled with those two batches by July 31, 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 on board,” Sadiya
Umar-Farouq, minister of humanitarian affairs, disaster management and social
development, was quoted as saying.
More than one million Nigerians
applied for the N-Power Batch C programme in less than 48 hours between June 26
and June 28, 2020.
The N-Power programme has so far enrolled 500,000
beneficiaries; they include 200,000 from Batch A that commenced in September
2016, and 300,000 from Batch B which started in August 2018.
