NPower Beneficiaries Will Be Missed In Secondary Schools

The silence with respect to NPower Batch A and NPower Batch B transitioning by the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs will surely affect activities in schools where NPower volunteers have contributed immensely towards positive growth and development of these schools.

Although, the management of NPower have disengaged the NPower Batch A and NPower Batch B beneficiaries, it seems the services of the disengaged NPower beneficiaries are still needed in some schools where they are deployed to across the federation.

An NPower beneficiary received an SMS from his place of primary assignment yesterday morning about a staff meeting scheduled to hold yesterday 3rd August 2020 at the school hall, agenda of the day includes preparation of the school compound ahead of school resumption, preparation of the exiting students towards their forthcoming external examination, etc.

The interesting part was that the message indicated that he is the chairman of the committee as the only male teacher in the school, but this was a big blow to his headteacher when he failed to attend the meeting.

The Ministry should have concluded NPower Batch C recruitment before exiting the NPower Batch A and NPower Batch B beneficiaries. The School will feel the pain and vacuum of resuming without NPower beneficiaries.
