Transition Commenced: CBN, BOA, BOI to Engage Volunteers- FMHDS: Sequel to the announcement made by Hajiya Sadiya Farouq, on the Transition of Volunteers into various opportunities.
The Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development has commenced the transitioning of volunteers of Batch A and B into government entrepreneurship schemes and engaging private sector bodies to absorb volunteers
The Message Read thus:
1. The Federal Government of Nigeria, through the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development has commenced the disengagement of NPower Batch A and B, who have been on the scheme since 2016 and 2018.
2. The Ministry is requesting for names, email, phone numbers of all those NPower volunteers who had earlier exited the NPower programme before now, their sector of engagement and reason for their early exit.
3. The Ministry is also working out plans with CBN, BOI, BOA, on various opportunities that would enable exiting NPower beneficiaries to be self-reliant and have consequently requested interested NPower volunteers, to forward to the focal person their email,addresses, names and phone numbers.
4. In keeping with the state COVID19 guidelines on public gathering, NPower volunteers are expected to send in their details to States Focal Officers
Though some states have made it easy for the NPower volunteers by not doing the screening physically, some states are still conducting physical screening. If your state is conducting a physical screening, please take the following safety precaution:
1) Wear a face mask
2) Maintain social distancing
3) Sanitize your hands before going out and wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water when back from the screening.

We’ll Pay Exited Volunteers Next Week- Femi Adesina Channels TV
The spoke person to the President, Mr. Femi Adesina has made it clear on Channels TV, Friday, the 7th of August 2020, that all exited Npower volunteers will be paid not later than next week
The presidential spoke-man made it clear on the position of government to the exited volunteers, in his precise words, “there is no going back, disengaged volunteers are already exited”
Government cannot continue to pay 500,000 volunteers for life, others will be given same opportunities
He disclosed that, the batch C registration has shown that, more Nigerians are willing to have skills, as shown by the numbers of applications received
Before the end of next week, all volunteers would have been paid, we have strategized and modified means to pay all the Exited volunteers without flagging of account

The president’s spokesman said the issues the protesters were demonstrating about such as insecurity, corruption, poverty, and rights abuse were not peculiar to Nigeria and so the protests were misguided.
He said the N-Power programme, which gives unemployed youths temporary jobs and monthly stipends was one of the ways the government was addressing joblessness.
Adesina added that the President recognizes the problems but they cannot be addressed in one fell swoop.
When asked if the clampdown on protests would continue Adesina noted that the government will do whatever is right, whatever is required to maintain peace in the country”
