The mail states that application for the program closes today August 21, 2019.
Some of those who did not get the message directly on their e-mail inbox checked their spam to find it there, our source told us.
The program is monetised as interested beneficiaries are expected to pay a sum of N2 million, according to our source.

Our verdict
While the Decagon program is authentic, this medium cannot independently verify if the mail beneficiaries received emanated from N-Power or is with the consent or approval of the scheme.
The National Social Investment Programme (N-SIP) endorsed Startup Nigeria and in June, even announced a project open to Nigerians living in the South East, North Central and North West zones of Nigeria via the N-Power social media account.
The main information dissemination tool of the scheme is its official Twitter account.
