Over one and a half years after exiting beneficiaries of batches A and B of the N-Power Scheme of its National Social Investment Programme (NSIP) the federal government is yet to formally engage new enrollees.
Recall that the government disengaged beneficiaries of the two batches who were engaged in 2016 and 2017 respectively, in May 2020.
Before the exit, the government, through its Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development which runs the scheme, had launched a portal for the 500,000 exited beneficiaries to apply for their exit packages.
Plans were made for the transition of the N-power batch A and B through the creation of the NEXIT portal, which would allow those who choose to sign up to access other government empowerment opportunities.
