The payable amount for the beneficiaries of the scheme was is pegged at N30,000 on a monthly basis as renumeration since the commencement of the first batch of the N-Power scheme, while beneficiaries are deployed to federal and state elementary educational institutions.
Some of the beneficiaries of the scheme are of the opinion that due to the nature of their appointment in relation to their renumeration, there shouldn’t be a strict monitoring measure of the scheme participants
As an intervention program, the financial implication is not based on a specific government grade level which increases on a yearly basis.
