NPower Latest News For Today Monday 8th November 2021
Welcome to Flippstack, we have compiled all the Latest Npower News for today. So if you are among the beneficiaries, make sure to read this article to the end and always come back from time to time to check for more updates.
1. NASIMS Adds Payroll Tab On Beneficiaries Profiles As Monthly Stipend Set To Be Completed Before End Of This Week
The National Social Investment Management System (NASIMS) has added a payroll Tab on beneficiaries’ profiles which is one step ahead of ensuring that Batch C Stream 1 beneficiaries receive their October Stipend without more delay.
The Payroll Tab serves as a bank statement that showcases all details of payment received by each beneficiary and can be used in the resolution of payment issues when such arises.
2. Npower Batch C Stream 1 October Payment Update
You can recall that the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development declared on 4th October 2021 as the official date for resumption of “work” by the beneficiaries of the Stream 1 Npower Programme.
This only means that the Ministry will never pay for a month the beneficiaries did not work for as Npower is a work, earn and learn programme. The opposite may have happened in the past but do not expect it in this current leadership.
Some online media has suggested that the payment will be made by the 25th of this month but the 25th of any Month is not a good expectant date for Npower payment. This is because Npower beneficiaries are not permanent Federal workers and the Npower Programme is not institutionalized under the Civil Service Commission.
October payment being the first Stipend to be received by the Batch C Stream 1 Npower beneficiaries, would take a little time because when the Ministry clears for payment, the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation will have to feed the data into the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System server.
When all are set in the server, subsequent payment can then be easy and, would be paid earlier before the 7th of the following Month. The beneficiaries of the Batch C Stream 1 Npower Programme should expect their October Stipend from 1st to 10th November 2021.
3. Nasims Gives Update On Pending Status And Pass Status
The National Social Investment Management System (NASIMS) has sent an important notice for Npower Batch C Beneficiaries regarding beneficiaries verification status, so if you are one of the Batch C beneficiaries make sure you read until the end.
The Npower management on one of their social media accounts has urged beneficiaries not to report to their PPA if their NASIMS status has not changed to pass or still showing pending.
If your verification status has never changed to pass for once after your physical verification process and it’s still pending till now, kindly note that your physical verification exercise was not successful and you are not expected to report to your PPA.
