Npower Gives Update On When Batch C Stream 1 And 2 Will Commence

The Federal Government has announced that the N-Power Batch ‘C’ Program has been separated into two streams, according to Sadiya Farouq, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development, Onyxnews gathered.

According to Farouq, the total number of beneficiaries for Batch C will be divided into two Streams, each with 500,000 people.

N-Power Batch ‘C’ was included in the 2021 budget. Although this may not be the case prior to N-Power Batch A and Batch B beneficiaries, as an external loan to fund the deficit budget to operate the NEXIT programme for Batch A and B exiting beneficiaries is on the way.

“For the Batch A and B, as you are aware, they have exited and they have been put into programme in partnership with the Central Bank of Nigeria for them to be engaged in meaningful employment or trade.”
