Npower has no right to end this time around, I have been watching the situation of things with Npower, they have been promising a lot of things. Enhancement and Transition are part of the promises they have made but from my point of view I think they are having an issue with this two promises they have made. Definitely they said Npower will resume recruitment in 2020 that is very impressive this means that the 2016 npower beneficiaries are going to be placed somewhere before the new recruitment start if not they 2016 beneficiaries are also going to apply for the 20/20 program because they are still not here yet empowered believe it or not.

The delay in N-Power October 2019 Stipends payment has hit hard on volunteers in the month of November as they patiently wait for the payment of their stipend to commence. The payment of volunteers stipends has now changed from the usual month end payment to first week into the next month. However, the payment of October stipend has taken another level just like in other occasion when beneficiaries get paid at the middle of the following month which they find it difficult to comprehend the reason behind this delay. Some volunteers took to their social media platforms to express their feeling in regards to this delay. A volunteer said, “We are ready to deliver this country in terms of reviving the standard of our primary and secondary education if only Federal government is ready to give we the youths maximum attention.This is what I go through every day to make a living and you people still hold our stipend for extra month before payment and still called the youths lazy sets of people....

According to the Npower team,the first batch must first be disengaged before a new recruitment will be done.
