What Is Npower Permanency All About?

Initially, the N-power program is supposed to last for 2 years where all beneficiaries will be paid monthly stipends.

However, the Federal Government has decided not to disengage the 2016 and 2017 beneficiaries on completion of their Npower program.

Instead, The Federal Governement, under the N-power programme will ensure that N-power beneficiaries are permanently employed in different Federal and State agencies nationwide.

Npower News On Permanency 2020 Today

The Federal Government has been urged not to disengage Npower Batch A and Batch B beneficiaries.

Appealing a press briefing in Umuahia, National Chairman of Isun Multipurpose Cooperative Society, Sir Isaac Nkole, said the move would be counter-productive.

He said that the scheme had made tremendous impacts in some key sectors of the economy such as agriculture and education; stressing that any idea to discontinue the programme “is ill-advised and makes no economic sense.”

Nkole noted that several university graduates had been engaged in teaching primary school pupils through N-Power, a development, he explained, had improved the quality of education in primary schools especially in rural communities.

He further argued that disengaging the beneficiaries after giving them hope and little succour for about four years would not only worsen the unemployment situation in the country but lead to increase in crime wave as well as suicide cases.

In his words; ”The introduction of N-Power stands out as one of the best policies of the Federal Government under President Muhammadu Buhari. A lot of graduates have been engaged through the scheme. Some of them are in N-Teach, N-Agro, N-Tax and N-build. I appeal to President Buhari not to listen to anyone advising him to disengage the beneficiary as being speculated that the programme will be stopped by the 26th of this month.

“The questions are; If you disengage these graduates that are helping to improve the quality of education in primary schools, where do you want them to go? Is it to the over-saturated labour market or the crime industry?”

FG: No Plan To Employ Npower Batch A Beneficiaries Into Civil Service

The Federal government has said it has no plans to absorb the yet to be disengaged Batch A N-Power volunteers into the federal civil service.

In a statement signed on Saturday by the humanitarian ministry’s Deputy Director, Information, Rhoda Iliya, the government described any such report as “fake”.

The disclaimer followed reports across social media that President Muhammadu Buhari will on June 12 announce the engagement of the outgoing N-Power Batch A volunteers into the Nigerian civil service as part of their exit package.

In its statement, the humanitarian ministry said information regarding the N-Power scheme or any of its National Social Investment Programmes (NSIP) would be issued through the appropriate channels.

“The attention of the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, has been drawn to the fake news trending on social media that President Muhammadu Buhari will on June 12 broadcast to the nation the absorption of N-Power Batch A Volunteers into the Federal Civil Service.

“The Ministry is hereby calling on the public to disregard the message and consider it as fake news.

“Any information on N-Power or the National Social Investment Programme will be issued through the appropriate Federal Government channels,” the ministry said.
