PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME TO READ THIS

The Npower registration will start by 11:45 pm tonight (26-06-2020) according to the information on the Npower website.
After reading this information, you will agree with me that you may not be totally prepared for the registration and if you are prepared, there are some simple mistakes you will avoid if you take your time to read this piece.
It is important to take note of the following mistakes that may affect your chances of being selected or that may frustrate you later if you are eventually selected. Don't rush to register. Read this first.

1) BVN
It is important that you print out your BVN. This is to know the arrangement and spelling of your name if any mistake.The name on your BVN must match those on your credentials and Identity Card i.e. they must be spelt the same way.
Also, the Date of Birth on your BVN must match those on your birth certificate and Identity Card. If you are sure this is the case, you may not need the print out.

2) ARRANGEMENT OF YOUR NAME
When filling your name, take note of the order in which it is to be supplied. E.g. (1) SURNAME, FIRSTNAME, OTHERNAME E.g., OJO Kehinde Akin and (2) FIRSTNAME, MIDDLENAME LASTNAME E.g., Kehinde Akin OJO.
Your MIDDLENAME is not the same as MAIDEN NAME. MAIDEN NAME is for married women and it is the SURNAME they answered before marriage.

3) ADDRESS
Please fill your address to detail E.g., 1 Akinfenwa Street, Off Brewery Bus-Stop, Ajangbadi. If this is not the case, you may be posted far away from your residence and may end up spending substantial amount of your stipend on transport.

4) EMAIL
Use email that you remember it password so you would be able to access the link to continue your registration after the initial step on the portal. Also, use a reasonable email not one such as uchetheman@planetmars.com

5)PHONE NUMBER
Use the phone number on your BVN.

6) LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Please note that there are two different Local Governments to be filled. Local Government of origin and Local Government of residence.
For the Local Government of residence, be sure to confirm before selecting. For example, in my area the main road that separate my community from the other side of the same Bus Stop are in different Local Government. Again, don't assume you know. If you are unsure, please ask.

7) BANK ACCOUNT
Please supply a Bank Account that is still active not a dormant one. You can go to your Bank to activate your account if it is dormant and ensure you deposit some money into the account.
If you opened your Bank Account on the roadside, please go and complete the necessary documentation at the nearest branch. Note that some accounts have restrictions on the amount of money that can enter at any time if the proper documentation is not completed.

STAY UPDATED
After registration, please ensure you continue following the updates. During the registration for Batch A, some who have completed their registration particularly the very first set of people to register when the stages where many and when it was difficult to register were left out when the portal was upgraded. The information was that some set of people who registered during a certain period should re-register because the portal had been upgraded and the stages of registration reduced. Many of these people were not aware of this development. They were never selected because their registration had been cancelled and their information expunged from the database.

I will share with you other useful information during the course of registration. I will create a Whatsapp group for that purpose. Feel free to drop your number.

WISHING YOU A SUCCESSFUL REGISTRATION

Nice piece of information but Npoower is a frustrating scheme.
