N-Power & NASIMS — Programme Status, Stipends and What Beneficiaries Should Know

N-Power — where things stand

N-Power is the federal youth empowerment programme (N-Teach, N-Agro, N-Health, N-Tech and other streams) managed through the NASIMS platform at nasims.gov.ng. The programme has been through restructuring — the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs has reviewed batches and stipend arrears multiple times, and new enrollment has been announced in phases.

What beneficiaries should do

Log into nasims.gov.ng regularly — your dashboard status is the only source of truth.
Keep your NIN and bank details consistent — most failed payments trace to name/number mismatches.
Ignore anyone selling "N-Power slots" or "backlog release" — it's a scam.
