The senior special assistant to the president on job creation and youth empowerment, Mr. Afolabi Imokhuede had a Facebook live chat session on Thursday 5th October 2017 to update all Nigerians on the status of the npower social investment program of the federal government of Nigeria. The senior special assistant addressed issues bordering on the list of successful applicants for the 2017 npower program, all you need to know about npower existing beneficiaries payment issues, npower tablet/device distribution issues and the deployment of successful applicants for the npower non graduate category of 2016.
Some key information provided by Mr. Afolabi Imokhuede during the 5th October live chat are as follows:

FACEBOOK LIVE CHAT WITH AFOLABI IMOKHUEDE 5TH OCTOBER, 2017
1. ATTENDANCE AT NPOWER PLACE OF PRIMARY ASSIGNMENT IS NON-NEGOTIABLE. Those found absent have been placed on payment hold and device hold. Npower remains a full time volunteer program and if for any reasons you cannot be available full time, you should exit the program. Npower is a serious program.
2. TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH. Even Nhealth npower volunteers should avoid self-medication. They should meet medical professionals and go for a medical test.
3. THOSE ON PAYMENT HOLD ARE ALSO ON DEVICE HOLD....SO NO NEED TO GO FOR DEVICE COLLECTION EVEN IF YOU RECEIVE AN SMS FOR DEVICE COLLECTION. When you go for device collection, you will be told that your device is on hold and that is authorized by the npower official team. The n-agro beneficiaries that did not show up for their step down training cannot receive their devices!
4. YOUR NPOWER DEVICE IS A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PROPERTY. If you sell it, you are stealing/selling a federal government property. This is because you are on asset finance for 20 months from the bank of industry (BOI). As at October 2017, you are in your 11th month, therefore, the device is not yet your own. It is at the end of the 20th month that the device becomes your own. With the aid of the tracking tool on your device, if it is detected that you have sold your device, then a lien will be placed on your account to recover the ninety thousand naira (N90,000) value of the device (N4,500 x 20 = N90,000) and you will also be prosecuted. A stern warning is therefore issued to those that intend to sell to desist from such and if you have done so, you should retrieve the device.
5. NO DEVICE CHANGE IN NPOWER. If you selected HP device and did not select another When Prompted & Informed that it is no longer available, in order to prevent a situattion where you do not get any device at all, the system automatically selects another device for you. That explains why you might have selected a particular device, but you are seeing a completely different device on your profile or you selected one device and got another device during collection.
6. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE MANY LEARNING CONTENTS ON THE DEVICE TO DEVELOP YOURSELF. This is to help you perform better as you deliver at your npower place of primary assignment (PPA) and also equip you to become better prepared for the world of work after NPOWER.
7. NO REDEPLOYMENT IN NPOWER! THIS HAS BEEN REITERATED AND IT STANDS.
LIST OF STATES WITH ACTIVE NPOWER DEVICE DISTRIBUTION:
RIVERS, LAGOS, KOGI(LOKOJA), BAUCHI, ADAMAWA, CROSS RIVER, AKWA IBOM, ABIA, IMO, BENUE, JIGAWA, EBONYI, KANO , SOKOTO, DELTA, ENUGU, KADUNA, NIGER, ONDO,OYO, ABUJA, KATSINA, ZAMFARA, ANAMBRA, OGUN, EDO, PLATEAU.
LIST OF STATES WITH NPOWER DEVICES IN TRANSIT TO ARRIVE BY WEEKEND:
BAYELSA, BORNU, EKITI, NASSARAWA, TARABA, OSUN, KEBBI, YOBE, GOMBE, KWARA.
8. FOR STATES WITHOUT ENOUGH REACH FROM MTN, where the use of existing MTN facilities alone will cause severe delays, MTN and NPOWER are ramping-up the distribution process by utilizing alternative larger facilities as experienced in Port Harcourt, Lagos and Abuja. For example, the airforce base was used in Port Harcourt for device distribution. Similarly, the following military facilities will be used for device distribution in their respective states:
BENUE: (AIRFORCE BASE IN MAKURDI), OYO(MOKOLA MILITARY BARRACKS), WARRI (MILITARY BARRACKS IN WARRI),OSUN(ARMY BARRACKS IN EDE).
9. NPOWER PAYMENT ISSUES UPDATE - ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW: Of the 200,000 deployed volunteers 182,347 are qualified volunteers right now without payment issues meaning they passed physical verification, payment and have been NIBSS verified. However, right now only 172, 409 VOLUNTEERS ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE PAYMENT.
Roughly nine, ten thousand are not able to receive payment. 4,418 are not yet NIBSS verified. 5,520 people do not have account record with npower. The 5,520 people are to be yanked off npower program.
Of the 4,418 persons in the payment environment but not yet NIBSS verified, it is found that the BVN provided is not linked with the given account details for 2,656 persons. This 2,656 persons have been given a deadline of 15th October, 2017 to regularize their details. They have been notified of the problem via sms and if they do not resolve it by 15th of October, 2017, they will be dropped from the Npower program. 142 persons have BVN issues because their banks have updated their BVN and they need to sort that out with their banks.
For about 269 npower volunteers, although they have accurate bank details/records, their money is returned by the banks because their account has been placed on hold due to KYC (know your customer ) issues. This could be due to expired ID cards or other sundry issues which need to be sorted out with the banks. In other words, the banks are rejecting the money. 3 Personss have an issue of account dormancy and the banks are therefore rejecting their money as a result. 55 Persons have their account recently closed by the banks and as a result, the banks reject/return the money paid by npower into the account.
357 persons have their money returned by the banks because their account cannot receive that amount of money. Some of these accounts are NYSC accounts that have been profiled to receive only about twenty thousand naira (N20,000). This is the reason why some persons have not received their backlogs even after rectifying their initial issues. Npower as we all know pays thirty thousand naira (N30,000) every month which normally should pose no problem. However, assuming you have a backlog of about 6 months, that equals a payment of one hundred and eighty thousand naira (N180,000). For people whose accounts are profiled to take only a certain amount, this backlog will be returned by the bank because it has exceeded the limit profiled for that account. Such persons need to work with the support team and his/her bank to resolve the issue.
2017 SUCCESSFUL NPOWER VOLUNTEERS UPDATE
10. THERE IS NO LIST ONLINE AT THE MOMENT AND ALL SUCH NEWS ARE FAKE AND SHOULD BE DISREGARDED.
The npower 2017 list of successful candidates continues to generate much tension and anticipation as everyone awaits the list. The npower team is aware of this anticipation and I believe the effect on the general public, not just volunteers. Hence the senior special assistant to the president on job creation, Mr. Afolabi Imokhuede has come out to reveal the random selection criteria.
With roughly 2.5 million applications out of which only about 300,000 was selected, one begins to wonder how the npower team can truly select these people in a fair and transparent manner.
Making matters worse is the plethora of scam and propaganda on social about the npower 2017 list of successful candidates. Some persons are alleging that you can pay a bribe to have your name included or gain automatic selection by putting your name on the automatic list of some parties or political big wigs.
The senior special assistant to the president dispelled all such rumors and insisted that just like the 2016 npower successful candidates list, the successful candidates' list for npower 2017 will be fair and transparent without favoritism or any form of external influence.
There is also no need for payment to be included in any list because the selection process is transparent. All those who meet the selection criteria are selected by a random algorithm. To quote him: "OUR SELECTION AS YOU KNOW HAS GOT A FEW PARAMETERS AND THERE IS ALSO WHAT WE CALL...AND AT BEST IT IS A RANDOM ALGORITHM THAT HELPS US TO SEELECT ONCE YOU MEET ALL THE PARAMETERS" The preselection list will be made public later in this month of October (though Mr. Afolabi Imokhuede mistakenly said August in the video initially).
2016 NPOWER NON GRADUATE APPLICANTS UPDATE
11. THE NBUILD APPLICANTS WILL NOW BE CONTACTED TO RESUME THEIR TRAINING.The Nbuild applicants will now be contacted to resume their training starting with about twenty thousand (20,000) applicants out of a total of one hundred and twenty four thousand (124,000) applications received.
