The President Muhammadu Buhari administration says N-Power
beneficiaries, who have concluded the two-year job programme, will now be able
to access permanent job opportunities or business prospects.
This is part of the newly-activated N-power exit strategy,
NAN reports.
The initiative is for Batches A and B of the N-Power
programme.
Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and
Social Development, Sadiya Farouq, gave the update on Wednesday.
She spoke at the 4th annual review of the Home Grown School
Feeding Programme (NHGSFP).
Under the plan, 200,000 beneficiaries will be engaged as
financial services operators under the Shared Agent Network Expansion Facility
(SANEF).
The scheme is operated by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
“Plans have been concluded for the transition of the N-power
Batch A and B through the creation of the NEXIT portal, which would allow those
who choose to sign up to access other government empowerment opportunities.
“A beneficiary management system for the NSIPs is expected
to be deployed in 2021. It would have the capacity to manage payments, address
grievances and improve dissemination of information”, Sadiya said.
The government said another 30,000 beneficiaries have been
engaged as geospatial experts and enumerators in the Economic Sustainability
Plan’s Mass Agric programme.
Others will have the option of benefiting from the
Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP) micro-enterprise loans.
