“We are preparing to introduce numerous innovative changes to the system. Nevertheless, the programs carried out by the previous administration have proven to be incredibly valuable and beneficial. Our focus will involve adjusting certain aspects, reflecting on past actions to rectify any shortcomings, and expanding initiatives to encompass a broader audience. Our attention will be directed towards generating millions of jobs, supplying assistance to households in remote parts of Nigeria that have been underserved, including palliatives and food.

Dr. Betta Edu, from the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, has announced her commitment to elevating the lives of over 133 million Nigerians by addressing poverty.

The commencement date for the payment of stipends to Npower Batch C beneficiaries has not been announced yet.

You can stay informed about any updates regarding this by following Eko Hot Blog, which will likely be among the first to provide information once the date is announced.

In a turn of events that brings relief to N-power beneficiaries across the nation, Nasims, the managing body of the Npower program, has announced the reversal of altered beneficiary status to the original “BENEFICIARY” designation. This reversal comes after weeks of uncertainty and concern caused by an earlier update on the Nasims self-service portal that resulted in beneficiaries’ statuses being erroneously changed to “applicants.”

As of today, August 18th, 2023, Nasims officially confirmed that the N-power batch C beneficiaries’ status has been successfully updated back to “BENEFICIARY” on the npower program. Beneficiaries are encouraged to log in to the Nasims portal to verify their restored status and ensure the accuracy of their information.

In a related development, the Ministry responsible for overseeing the Npower program, the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, welcomes Dr. Betta Edu as the newly appointed Minister. This leadership change is expected to inject new energy into the management of the Npower program, and there are hopes that the program will regain its former glory under her guidance.

This promising development also raises expectations for the long-awaited resolution of the issue of unpaid stipends for beneficiaries, which has been a concern for the past 8 months. With the reinstatement of beneficiary status, beneficiaries remain optimistic that their pending stipends will be cleared soon.

During the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held on August 17th, 2023, in Abuja, several critical issues were discussed and addressed. The council received updates on the ongoing nationwide distribution of essential items, such as rice, grains, and fertilizer, to various states. This initiative, supported by a generous financial aid of N5 billion from the Federal Government, aims to provide assistance to citizens in need.

The council particularly commended the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) for their vital contributions to these efforts. Moreover, the council acknowledged the interventions made by state governments to alleviate the suffering of citizens, especially vulnerable groups. It urged these governments to further amplify their distribution of palliatives, continuing their invaluable support to the most affected members of society.
