PARROTTE.COM.NG

This is Wednesday Facebook live chat with Afolabi Imoukhuede ,He discussed on the following such as the delay in stipend,when device will be ready for collection & when Npower registration 2020 will commenced.

He said and we quote "Good evening great Nigerian youths and Npower ambassadors. Its a great pleasure to get in touch with you once  again. Here is another Npower Facebook live chat"

1, PAYMENT PROCESS

He said their  payment process is guided by two key parameters.One is the elimination of any intermediary  or middle man,that is we have never paid any of you through anybody,we have always paid you direct.

The second parameter is we are been careful to save guard you over identity theft.What this means is that,we cut of payment process in the middle of every month,it goes through administrative procedures.before you get paid, there is validation that happens in the Nigerian inter bank settlement scheme (NIBSS).

On the day we cut of payment for the month,we take exceptions to payroll and we progress it,it goes on to the Hon Minister,from her desk,it moves down to the permanent secretary and then to the director of finance down to the deputy director of finance.Here all the checks and balanced are done,which takes some time.This happens before the funds are been moved from the treasury single account which is hosted by cbn. They run the validation, to ensure again that all of your details provided on the payroll matches with the details on your bvn.

Once this matches,you are validated for payment and then money is released to beneficiaries bank and then paid to your account.

Once there is any issue on any individual detail,the funds for that individual are sent back from the banks to nibss,from nibbs back to the ministry. So now you will see all that happens when there is payment delay.

At this point,some of you dont get paid.But we try and reach out to you through our support network,we contact you via email,sms or phone call.We ask that you go regularize yourself at your bank or go update your bvn or whatever the issue is.

If we havnt taken added steps to guard against identity theft,most of you wont get paid or have backlogs.Be rest assured that no money is lost in this process.

2, GHOST WORKERS IN NPOWER

Let me be clear,there is no ghost worker in Npower. Haven’t conducted physical verification and confirming those who are admitted into the program,there is no ghost workers.I believe the ghost workers phrase some of you use are meant for those who do not go to their PPA sometimes or at all. We do get reports and we immediately place you on payment hold.SO if you do not get paid,its either you failed payment validation which we will inform you or you have been temporary suspended,which is payment hold.

Let me use this opportunity to apologise on behalf of the Hon Minister and all stakeholders of Npower for the irregular payment cycle that you have experienced in the last five months.As you know, Npower is now been managed in a new ministry. It now has a minister,a permanent secretary.As you know, the Hon minister had plead that she needs time to understand the Npower programme.

I have the assurance of the ministry that the worst days are behind us,the January stipend for non graduates will be paid on or before this week Friday. I am also aware that February stipend is also in the advance stage,before the end of this week, you should get your stipend.And also for the non graduates , your february stipend should come by next week.

3, ON NPOWER BENEFICIARIES NOT GOING TO THEIR PPA

We are receiving a lot of complaints even as i speak that a lot of you stopped going to work.How do you imagine getting a permanent slot when you dont go to your PPA. We  have our monitoring team and they have been empowered to send reports to us.

About 5781 of you were forcefully exited from the program because of disciplinary issues like this.So you should take the npower program serious or risk been exited.

When we receive reports of a defaulting volunteers ,we place him/her on temporary payment hold,which would last for 45 days.This 45 days grace gives you the opportunity to amend your ways,return to your ppa and plead for clemency and then your head of PPA issues an attestation letter of good behaviour. Once the letter is issued to you,you then have to send the letter to us via email volunteersupport@npvn.ng or via your focal person,NOA officer or you send it to us by uploading it into your portal.Once we receive it,we quickly reinstate you, but you wont be entitled to any backlogs.

When this 45 days grace period elapse,and you fail to reach out to us, you are automatically exited from the program and thats the fate of about 5781 of you.

4, RESIGNATION

Once we get your resignation request,we dont process it immediately despite the fact that resignation has multiple steps. Some of you come to say it was my girlfriend or boyfriend that clicked on the resign button.Because of all these issues, we then created what we call pending resignation.When you resign, we try to reach you  for final confirmation.

As we speak today, there are over 11238 resignation request,8709 volunteers have been approved.2529 volunteers resignation are still pending waiting for final confirmation.

5, NPOWER DEVICE

The npower device is critical to your life long learning and even your entrepreneurship opportunities.We are working on it and in no distance time the ministry will be notified of the steps taking in that direction.Because we pay your stipends regularly,something has to suffer because of the dwindling national revenue.

6, NPOWER TRANSITION/PERMANENCY

We tend to struggle with the basic truth.Sometimes we think when we speak the fact for so long it becomes a reality.Since the inception of the program you have been told that the clamor for permanency is impracticable,that is not possible.

The total number of the civil service of the Federal government is less than a hundred thousand and you are almost five hundred thousand.How practicable is it that the federal government will employ you.

The other reason is,the federal republic of Nigeria is a federation that runs on three tiers of government, the federal,state and the local government.And all of you are working in a local government and state.How can the Federal government employ you in a state he doesn’t control.

I spoke to you about enhancement, and that is you will continue to learn work and earn. We have said you will not go back to the street, we will continue to work with your state government and local government to see how we can create a robust enhancement package. Make contacts with your state government, write to them officially, apply for opportunities.

We are working on a Youth Geep Loan.that will also facilitate for some of you to get in.We are hopeful that conversation with your state governors will yield results.hopefully they might want to recruit some of you.

7, NON GRADUATE EXIT

Your exit plan has been giving to you already. you were given laptops,tool repair kits and we also provide you with access to masters assistance,access to industry players.During your 9 month entrepreneurship,we have had success stories of some of you that were engaged by employers that provided you apprenticeship.

8, 2020 NPOWER PORTAL

We cannot open the portal until we succeed in exiting  those in the program.

This is recap of yesterday live chart with MR AFOLABI.

After three years of BATCH A recruitment into the program, the federal government is set to exit batch A  beneficiaries which consist 200,000 from the programme. The disengagement will take place between January and February this year, 2020.

As we learnt from all stakeholders involved (National Social Investment Office (NSIO) and the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, operators of the scheme) confirmed this in Abuja, yesterday 8th of January, 2020.

This was due to the fact that they were not included in the 2020 national budget.
The youth empowerment programme was created by the federal government with a focus on large-scale skill development for employment and social development.

A top official of NSIO told LEADERSHIP that the time had come for the affected 200,000 beneficiaries to be exited while the batch B should continue till their time lapse.

The reasons as gathered by our team was that the structure of the program is to exit them in other to enroll new beneficiaries.

Although, there is exit plan for the exiting beneficiaries which is awaiting the approval of the minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed.

“The fact is that the Government still don't have allocation for them in this year  budget and because of that, they may not be able to pay them. They will exit them this January or so,” the source said.

The federal government in it exit package, is planning not to push them back to the street struggling to find means of surviving.

Part of the plan, according to Federal Government, is to allow the participants access to loan up to N100,000 to start SME businesses as well as meeting with the state governments that benefited from the N-Power Agro, N-Power Health, N-Power Teach, N-Power Community Education, and N-Power Health workers to absorb or engage those that had been productive.

Please continue going to your PLACE OF PRIMARY ASSIGNMENT until the NPOWER officially confirm this on it social media.

We urge Nigerians to exercise patience and be prepared especially those that are prepared to join the Programme. To join the Programme you are required to get some vital personal information ready as well as your BVN details.

Please and please disregard all website that are not from NPOWER,  I discovered that their are some fake website from some fraudsters trying to get your data to use to defraud you, DON'T RELEASE YOUR BANK DETAIL.

Be aware that N-power recruitment form 2020 is not yet out online, DISREGARD any form of advert you come across. Don't allow yourself to  be defrauded and secondly N-power registration is free and no charges attached to the registration by the federal government.

My advise is for you to make sure you are alert to know when the form is out ,as you understand that their are a lot of people awaiting the registration which is online process. I will advice as soon as the portal is open for registration, make sure you get yourself registered.

LATEST UPDATES

 TRCN(Teachers Registration Council Of Nigeria) is not Npower Exam. It is an examination for only those that studied education in institutions as a course. Npower you don't need the certificate except:-

1. You must have being qualified to teach, i .e obtained certificate such as NCE, DEGREE etc.

2. If you don't , you must have switch into teaching profession through Postgraduate courses.

3. If you are working as a teacher already under private or public establishment.

If you fall under these categories, you must make sure you obtain this form to become a certified professional teacher as regard the ultimatum and the deadline given by the federal government to teachers that he who fail to have obtain the certificate will be sacked from his or her job by December and only teachers with the certificate will be employed and replaced those sacked.

Even public school teachers who do not have the certificate are already registering, because they were given till December to submit their certificate and those without the certificate will be sacked. According to the information received by us @parrottemedia, permanent teachers who did not study education will be rellocate to their department. And lastly there shall be no appointment for those who study education without TRCN. That is why people are rushing to register. The last exam for this year is October. In any state you are, just visit any ministry of education in your state you will be direct to TRCN office. I think the form price varies depend on the result you hold.

Note that the certificate only makes you a registered, certified and professional teacher.

If you are currently doing your postgraduate education ( PGDE) ,kind visit the ministry of education with your admission letter to obtain the certificate.
