N-power recruitment: Nigerians lament over Batch C online registration
Interested applicants have protested the challenges faced while applying for the Batch C N-Power programme.
This protest came on the heels of the enrolment of the Batch C N-Power Programme which commenced 11:45 pm on Friday.
Recall that the N-Power programme was established in 2016 by President Muhammadu Buhari under the National Social Investment Programme (NSIP) with the mandate of lifting citizens out of poverty through capacity building, investment, and direct support.
The N-Power Programme which was hitherto under the supervision of the Office of the Vice President has been transferred to the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development.
The ministry’s supervising Minister, Sadiya Umar Farouq via a statement issued by the ministry’s Deputy Director (Press), Mrs Rhoda Iliya said the programme is open to all unemployed Nigerians between the ages of 18 and 35.
Displeased by the challenges, these young Nigerians took to Twitter to register their concerns under various hashtags including #Npower2020Recruitment.
Successfully registered although refused no to currently employed. Had to pick yes and fill all the fields before I could save and continue. I wonder why it refused no to currently employed when the program is for unemployed youths.”
@BonnifaceEjikem1 tweeted: “It’s indeed very unfortunate that after spending hours on the registration site late in the night, my activation mail is yet to arrive. I even went as far as using all my email addresses in case it was a peculiar problem! #Npower2020Recruitment.”
@Maxtoye said: “@npower_ng An applicant made a registration early hours of yesterday before 11:45 pm stated time. The applicant tried to log in again to confirm registration or re-register But all he gets is a blank page and a message the email is already on the portal. #Npower2020Recruitment https://t.co/lDrdymIcX0”
@Zeallhedi tweeted: “Can’t move forward, it stays like this for a long time and says check your network connection, I know my network is all good @Npower_ng #Npower2020Recruitment https://t.co/HwYfkVzSB6”
@AAIbrahim247 tweeted: “@npower_ng #Npower2020Recruitment What about those that did a Diploma with Universities (Consultancy Programs)?
I see no option for that in your drop-down list of OND programmes. Pls, reply. Thanks.”
Another tweeter said: “#Npower2020Recruitment, I couldn’t apply yesterday night because of reasons beyond my control. Have been trying it this morning but all to no avail. Please any hope for me?”
@ibrixy lamented: “@npower_ng
I’m getting the message “applicant email already exists on the portal”… even after trying another email.. PS: I’ve never applied before! #Npower2020Recruitment.
