NPower Batch C: How To Obtain Your BVN Printout

NPower Latest News: Although the BVN print out might not be an essential document for the physical screening exercise, that is, should there be an NPower physical verification, but the BVN print out, is necessary to clear any benefits of doubt that might affect an NPower Batch C applicant’s payment, probably due to name and age mismatch.

So in order to obtain your BVN print out an NPower Batch C applicant should simply go to the bank with his or her BVN number, and request for a printout from thebank customer service unit.

The BVN print out should contain full names of the N-Power Batch C applicant, the correct BVN number, and date of birth of the NPower Batch C applicant, and also the photo of an NPower Batch C applicant.

With this document an NPower Batch C applicant can simply go to the NASIMS NPower self service portal and edit the name and other details on his or her dashboard to correspond with the particulars on the BVN print out.

5 Ways To Protect Your NPower (NASIMS) Portal

A lot of NPower Batch C applicants have been complaining that whenever they login into their NPower (NASIMS) Profile they do see another information most times on their portal, infact an N-Power Batch C applicant (name withheld) said another BVN number was being displayed on the portal, some NPower Batch C applicants also experience a completely different NPower ID when they log into the NPower NASIMS portal.

The following 8 steps below if properly carried out by an N-Power Batch C applicant would help secure and keep the NASIMS (N-Power) profile safe from invaders and intruders online.

1) An NPower Batch C applicant should always visit his or her NASIMS N-Power dashboard to check for any new update, omission or alterations.

2) NPower Batch C applicants should endeavour to change his or her NASIMS N-Power portal password from the usual name, date of birth, phone number or account details password to a more stronger and secure password by including characters and numbers best known to only the N-Power Batch C applicants.
It has been observed that most N-Power Batch C applicants either use their name combination or date of birth combination to generate passwords, these passwords are very weak and common and a lot of scammers online could easily hack it thereby gaining access to the N-Power Batch C applicant’s dashboard.

3) An N-Power Batch C applicant should not reveal his or her sensitive data or personal information such as mobile number, password, account details and login password publicly on social media or to anyone the N-Power Batch C applicant do not know, even if the person claims to be an NPower staff, please do not reveal sensitive information online, N-Power would communicate to NPower Volunteers with issues via email, through NASIMS.gov.ng

4) An NPower Batch C applicant should not ask for assistance from anyone unknown to the NPower Batch C applicant for NASIMS portal profile update.
Should an N-Power Batch C applicant have any challenges login in the NPower Batch C applicant should either wait for the internet traffic congestion to ease a bit, or visit any Cyber cafe which has a strong network for easy access to your NASIMS N-Power Profile, even while at the cafe ensure to logout of your portal after every task completed, and do not allow the cafe attendant to handle sensitive informations.

5) An N-Power Batch C applicant using the mobile phone should also endeavour to logout after completing any task online.

NPower Batch C: No Official Date For Deployment

A lot of NPower Batch C applicants have been asking the question about when exactly would deployment commence? Infact most N-Power Batch C applicants have been saying “done with biometrics when will deployment commence”?

Note: Deployment will only commence only after lots of NPower Batch C1 Applicants have fully completed their N-Power NASIMS Biometrics.

Reason Why NPower Batch C Applicants Were Told To Carry Out Biometrics

The following are reasons why NPower Batch C applicants were told to carry out the NPower NASIMS Biometric Enrollment Fingerprint Capturing:

NPower Batch C: How To Fix “Hidden Score” Issue

How To Fix “Hidden Score” Issue. A lot of NPower Batch C applicants after login into their NPower (NASIMS) portal, noticed the sudden disappearance of their N-Power online test score.

In fact, some NPower Batch C applicants are even told to take test again, please do not retake the test, the NPower Batch C applicant’s score is still intact in the NPower (NASIMS) database at the back end, the test score was only hidden by the NPower IT Department in order to complete some database upload on the entire portal, shortlisting is ongoing, after the shortlisting process is completed all abnormalities on the NPower NASIMS portal will be reversed.

NPower Batch C Stream 2 Date Uncertain

NPower (NASIMS) has responded and clarified pending issues as regards the commencement date for the shortlising of NPower Batch C2, that is the next stream of the NPower Batch C program.

The statement was very clear from NPower (NASIMS) stream 2 has not commenced and there is no fixed date yet.

The Programme is designed to target Nigerians between the ages of 18 and 35 and aims to help young Nigerians acquire and develop life-long skills to become practical solution providers in their communities, enabling them to become innovative players in the domestic and global markets.

In view of the above, the Programme is mainly for unemployed youths. So if your data is captured on record as a Government staff or private sector employee, you are totally out of the scheme. The BVN validation stage is there to expose such applicants.

Categories Of Npower Batch C Applicants That May Not Be Shortlisted:

Previous experience from the batch A and B Volunteers shows that the following people may likely not be Shortlisted for the Npower batch C Programme

1) Those gainfully employed under Government or private sector

2) Those who are benefiting from other government programmes like NYSC, Nexit etc.

3) Those who failed to follow up on the recruitment instructions for instance: participating in the NASIMS test and other subsequent proceedings.

NPower Batch C1 List Not Yet Sent To States

NPower Focal Persons at individual States are yet to receive the list of N-Power Batch C Volunteers Stream 1, NPower State Focal Persons have lamented the delay in the process of sending the list of N-Power Batch C Volunteers to the states from the Ministry for Humanitarian Affairs.

This delay would slow down the deployment of NPower Batch C1 applicants to their respective places of primary assignment.

NPower Batch C2 cannot commence yet until the whole shortlisting process of N-Power Batch C1 has been completely finalized.

All congratulatory messages received by NPower Batch C applicants, still remains at N-Power Batch C1, NPower Batch C2 selection have not commenced yet.

Reason Why Npower Stream 2 Shortlisting Did Not Commence On June 15

The reason why Npower Stream 2 Shortlisting Did Not Commence On June 15 as earlier reported.

We gathered that the National Social Investment Management (NASIMS) stated that shortlisting of Batch ‘C’ Stream 2 on 15th June, 2021 was not officially announced by its management, adding that commencement date will soon be made known.

See Message below:

“HELLO

THANKS FOR CALLING NASIMS (NPOWER)

KINDLY NOTE THAT THERE IS NO OFFICIAL DATE FOR THE N-POWER BATCH C STREAM 2. KINDLY VERIFY IF YOU HAVE BEEN SHORTLISTED ON THE PORTAL AND ENSURE TO GO FOR YOUR BIOMETRIC IF YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL. ALWAYS REFER TO YOUR PORTAL FOR NEWS UPDATE WWW.NASIMS.GOV.NG

REGARDS”

Further findings shows that the Batch C Stream 2 shortlisting couldn’t commence because Stream 1 shortlisted candidates are still on the Biometric registration.

The selection process for Stream 1 is still ongoing, shortlisting of the Stream 2 will not take place as it would complicate the whole process.

Reason Why You Should Not Edit Your State & Local Government Area

A lot of NPower Batch C applicants have been jumping into their NPower NASIMS portal to quickly edit their state and local government area, this feat is a very risky thing to do by the NPower Batch C applicants.

NPower: Reason Why You Should Not Edit Your State & Local Government Area
By Jobs in Nigeria Portal -15th June 2021

It has gathered some of the reasons why NPower Batch C shortlisted candidates should not edit their state and local government areas.

If an NPower Batch C applicant have relocated to another state or local government area and the N-Power Batch C applicant is thinking of editing the N-Power NASIMS portal to the current state or local government area in which the N-Power Batch C applicant resides, to reflect on his or her N-Power Nasims portal profile, the N-Power Batch C applicant should not do that if the N-Power Batch C applicant have been shortlisted.

Reason is that each of the local government areas was allocated and allotted a specific number of N-Power Batch C applicants shortlisted for the N-Power batch C program, effecting changes on NASIMS (N-POWER) profile now before deployment would alter the whole database arrangements and might lead to disqualification of the affected N-Power Batch C applicant.

N-Power Batch C applicants are thereby advised to exercise patience until the N-Power Batch C applicant have been deployed to his or her place of primary assignment (PPA) then the N-Power Batch C volunteer can contact the district human resources department, or the state focal person for a change of location rather than editing your N-Power NASIMS profile before deployment.

Npower Batch C Stream 2 Frequently Asked Questions

1.will Npower stream 2 write another test?

2. Why am I seeing take test on my Nasims profile even after taking the test?

3) Why is my test result not showing in the nasims portal dashboard?

Here are the answers:

1. Whether the N-Power stream 2 will write another test or not? The answer to that question is No? The test earlier written is already captured and still stands.
2. To answer your second question as to why you keep seeing take test on your Nasims profile even when you have written the test before. The take test button is there but has been disfigured so even if you try to take the test again it will not work. But it might work for Special candidates though if there will be any.

3. Thirdly, the reason why you no longer see your test score on the Nasims portal is that it is hidden by The management. Your test result has already been captured on the portal so there is no need to panic. It is just hidden and can still be disclosed at any time when the need arises.

According to Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, those who did well in the CBT test but weren’t selected is because of their geographical locations, as only those with higher score were picked in locations with higher population.

She further explained that if in a local government titled ‘A’ has over one thousand (1,000) applicants, those that will be selected are persons that score within 70% to 100%. While in local government ‘B’ that has a population lesser than one thousand (1,000), anyone who score 0% to 35% can still be shortlisted in order to balance the required number of applicants coming from that geographical location.
