Following rumours making rounds on the social media that N-Power portals have been opened for new applicants, the Presidency has on Tuesday announced that it has not re-opened the N-Power Volunteer Corps online portal for new applications.

This disclosure was made in a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to Acting President, on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande.

According to Mr. Akande, there had been false and fraudulent reports circulating especially on social media that new N-Power applications are now being received on the N-Power portal.

The statement also said that there are also equally false reports and claims about an unauthorised request for vital personal information of beneficiaries on web portals not known to the presidency or any arm of the federal government.

Mr Akande  implored beneficiaries of the scheme to ignore such fake sources, adding that legitimate communication about the N-Power is done through the website, selection@npower.gov.ng, or the relevant focal persons appointed by each of the 36 states and the FCT.

He said “Any information that does not emanate from this identified sources or directly from the Presidency should be simply and out rightly dismissed.”
