Youths make a demand after N-Power 2020 Batch C recruitment application closed

Nigerian youths have asked what the next step is after Npower Batch C recruitment application has closed.

OnyxNews Nigeria reports that Applicants of the N-Power Batch C 2020 Recruitment are anxious to know the next step of the onboarding process of the new set of beneficiaries.

Recall that Sadiya Farouq, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development of Nigeria, restated that her ministry received more than 5 million applications in well over one month.

This online news platform understands that out of the over five (5) million applicants, 400, 000 successful applicants will be selected from the final application.

Farouq has said on micro-blogging site, Twitter that: “The N-Power Batch C application portal closed on Sunday, August 9, 2020, after receiving over 5m applications. As we embark on the review process, efforts are in high gear to clear the stipends for Batch A and B before onboarding the new set of beneficiaries.” 

Farouq in August stated at the grand finale of events in commemoration of her ministry’s first year anniversary, in Abuja, the Nigerian capital city, that the ministry of Humanitarian Affairs ‘will ensure due diligence will be applied to ensure that only duly qualified applicants are enrolled for N-Power Batch C during the selection stage’.

“We have successfully exited the 500,000 Batch A and B beneficiaries and closed registration for Batch C with a total of 5,042,001 registrations received.

“As we move to the selection stage, the Ministry will ensure due diligence will be applied to ensure that only duly qualified applicants are enrolled,” Farouq had said.

With no further information provided on Batch C Selection Stage, youths of a country with a 27.1% unemployment rate are nervy about the delay in the process of selecting applicants.
