This is according to the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Farouq.

She said this in a tweet on her handle on Sunday, adding that her Ministry will ensure the successful transition of the N-Power beneficiaries.

According to her, since the portal was opened about sixteen days ago, Nigerians have responded positively.

“My team and I continue to interface with stakeholders to ensure a successful transition for the N-Power,” the tweet read. “It has been 16 days since the portal opened and we have received 4.48 million applications to date.”

I held a virtual meeting with @IOM_Nigeria led by their Chief of Mission on their activities and areas of priorities given the impact of the #COVIDー19 pandemic.
