Shehu also made it known that the programmes of Trader Moni, Farmers Moni and Market Moni under the Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP) have been relaunched, and disbursement will begin in January 2024.
“The government is working towards an exit strategy for the existing N-Power beneficiaries, and as soon as that is done, a portal for the enrolment of Batch D will be introduced capturing the different components of N-Power such as N-Tech, N-Creative, N-Teach, N-Knowledge, N-Skills, N-Agro and N-Build.
