NASIMS, the Npower management, has provided an update on the stipend payments for Npower Batch C beneficiaries. The approval for the new payment is still pending, but the currently approved payment is aimed at clearing the backlog of unpaid stipends from 2022.
NASIMS has assured beneficiaries that once the new payment is approved, it will be initiated promptly without delays. It’s worth noting that beneficiaries are owed five months’ worth of stipend payments in 2023.
Npower is currently in the process of enrolling more preselected applicants. These applicants are being invited to validate their accounts to become beneficiaries.
The payment process for Npower beneficiaries who have successfully validated their accounts through the provided validation link is currently underway. Many beneficiaries have confirmed receiving their backlog payments today.
There have been rumors in the media about the suspension of payments to vendors, contractors, consultants, and service providers by the Federal Government. However, it’s important to clarify that salaries and pensions are not affected by this decision.
NASIMS has taken proactive steps to engage and include additional Npower Batch C applicants in the Npower Batch C2 Program. Selected applicants have received text messages asking for confirmation of their status and validation of their Npower records through the Npower Account Validation Form.
