Speaking during the flag-off of the N-power Batch C Stream 1 in Abuja, Monday, the Minister stated that “under Batch C Stream 1, a total of 450,000 beneficiaries have been selected to benefit under the Graduate component, while 60,000 beneficiaries will be Non-Graduate beneficiaries”.

2. When Npower Batch C Stream 1 Payment Will Commence

Following the flag-off of the N-power Batch C Stream 1, it is assumed that the programme has started as the Minister has issued an engagement letter to 510 beneficiaries used to celebrate the flag-off in Abuja.

However, many of the beneficiaries have not been officially posted to their Places of Primary Assignment.

Immediately the posting is made and the beneficiaries report to their PPAs, full engagement has been activated and the beneficiaries would be paid by the end of that month.

The Month of August is almost ending and the beneficiaries can not be paid for a month they did not work for. Hence, payment commences by the end of September 2021. An interval of 1-10 days is usually given to process the payment after the month-end, however, the Minister has promised prompt payment through the introduction of NASIMS Platform and Management.
