“I stayed awake with the NPOWER team till 3 am at the office to ensure NPOWER beneficiaries get paid before Christmas in line with the directive of the president.

Possible Reasons For Failed Npower Payment Status
In today’s latest Npower news – We will be discussing the Possible Reasons why some of you are seeing Failed on your Npower Payment Status so read on.
While Nasims prepare to share a post by tomorrow regarding the ‘FAILED’ payment status recently encountered by some beneficiaries after they have ascertained the possible cause and way out, we will highlight what might have transpired.
It is no longer news that Npower has begun paying Npower beneficiaries. However, as the payment continued, some beneficiaries were told that the reason why they are yet to be paid is because they are yet to validate their account on Nasims portal and are instructed to validate their account by editing their profile to add BVN record or call the nasims support line via the numbers below.
Though Npower has sent payment to Beneficiaries bank for disbursement and some beneficiaries payroll status has been on processing mode for the past 1 week. These categories of beneficiaries whose account is not validated might get failed payment status which simply means your bank tried to pay you but the payment failed because of one issue or the other which Nasims will be addressing tomorrow.
If you fall under the categories of those with failed payment status, kindly remain calm. Nasims team will be sharing a post on the cause and possible solution.
Meanwhile, you can contact Nasims agents for your validation, via these numbers: 092203102, 018888340, and willingly release the information as requested if your account details are not correct. If however, our helplines are irresponsive when you call, please keep calling or try back at intervals and DO NOT SEND EMAIL.

How To Resolve NPower Stipend Failed Payments, Paid But Not Credited, Paid But Not Credited issues will be discussed on the post, see solution..
Haycaba.com reports that the National Social Investment Management System has issued new guidance to Batch C Stream 1 Npower recipients who have payment difficulties such as Paid but not Credited or FAILED PAYMENT status.
Many Batch C Stream 1 Npower beneficiaries have experienced payment issues, most recently with their March stipend payment, as well as January and February stipend payments that “FAILED” to complete for some Npower beneficiaries.
Npower beneficiaries from Batch C Stream 1 have voiced their discontent with the situation and have requested that the Npower Management resolve all pending issues and credit their bank accounts.
NASIMS has directed Npower Batch C Stream 1 beneficiaries who have a “PAID but not Credited Issue” to visit their banks for confirmation of their accounts being credited without getting alerts, then if the money truly did not drop into their Bank Accounts, to obtain a statement of their Bank Accounts & file an accurate complaint to the new email address socialmedia.npower@gmail.com.
The Npower Management issued a warning that the directives must be implemented to the letter in order to settle any unresolved issues as promptly as feasible.
The Humanitarian Affairs Ministry informed today on Twitter that Batch C Stream 1 Npower beneficiaries who are suffering “FAILED PAYMENT” issues should be patient, as payments for months that failed to complete will be reinstated for each of the afflicted Npower beneficiaries.
Remember what NASIMS claimed before: “Those Whose Issues Have Been Fixed Are Being Paid Out Gradually,” and “You will be paid as soon as the issue that caused the delay/failure in payment of your stipend is resolved.”
