A widely circulated message especially on WhatsApp is that people can receive N30, 000 as part of N-Power Fund Grant, Afriupdate reports.
But according to investigations by this online news medium, there is nothing like ‘N-Power Fund Grant’.
This dependable website understands that the Federal Government is not sharing any free ‘N-Power’ money to citizens.
Any official information relating to the famed N-Power scheme is being disseminated by the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, and checks by AFRIUPDATE News reveals that the Ministry has no knowledge of the so-called N-Power Fund Grant.
Therefore, this message that requires you to input your Bank Account Details is pure SCAM. Beware!

In the other news, Afriupdate understands the over 5 million Nigerian youths who applied for N-Power Batch C are still waiting.
We had reported that Sadiya Farouq, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, in August stated at the grand finale of events in commemoration of her ministry’s first year anniversary, in Abuja, the Nigerian capital city, that the ministry ‘will ensure that due diligence will be applied to guarantee that only duly qualified applicants are enrolled for N-Power Batch C during the selection stage’.
“We have successfully exited the 500,000 Batch A and B beneficiaries and closed registration for Batch C with a total of 5,042,001 registrations received.
“As we move to the selection stage, the Ministry will ensure due diligence will be applied to ensure that only duly qualified applicants are enrolled,” Farouq had said.
With no further information provided on Batch C Selection Stage, youths of a country with a 27.1% unemployment rate are nervy.
On December 1, President Muhammadu Buhari approved an increase in the number of N-Power Batch C beneficiaries.
Buhari ordered the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development to increase N-Power beneficiaries from the initial 400, 000 to 1,000,000.
Thus, it looks like 1,000,000 successful enrollees will be selected from the final application pool.
