Batch B beneficiaries of the N-Power, were full of smiles and praises as they collected their MTN-powered mobile devices at the NUT Pavilion, Teachers House, in Alausa Lagos on Friday, April 13, 2018. These were largely 2016 Batch B beneficiaries who had undergone training in the N-Power Teach, N- Power Agro and N-Power Health programmes.
The FG powered N-Power scheme seeks to address the unemployment quagmire by recruiting 500,000 "volunteers", training and paying them a monthly stipend of N30, 000 over a 2-year period. These volunteers have been given relevant skills acquisition training in order to address critical needs in education, healthcare, technology and other artisanal industries across the country. In addition, the government also leverages technology by providing each beneficiary with a mobile computing device that will contain information necessary for their specific engagement, as well as information for their continuous training and development. Some of the devices collected by the volunteers include: Samsung Tab, AfriOne 2-in-1, Techno Pad, N-power Brian Tablet, Zinox Zpad Tablet, Speed star Window Tablet, RLG tablet, and Floss Signature.
Device owners are on a special post-paid NPower Plan. Beneficiaries can check their balance by dialing *558#. Data allocation for NPower volunteers is 750MB monthly. Beneficiaries can check for data balance by dialing *460*200#. There is no need to recharge for their monthly data bundle. However they can recharge and subscribe for additional bundle once the allocated one is exhausted using MTN existing codes.
