"An Npower health volunteer was posted to a community primary health care centre in Ughelli south LGA of Delta state. When she got to the primary health care centre, she noticed that there was no laboratory section. She now decided to set up a lab with her stipends and little financial assistance from the husband.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian federal government approved the sum of N4,500 for each of the 200,000 beneficiaries of N-Power Volunteer Corps.
The approved subsidy is for the purchase of an electronic tablet device. According to Vanguard, the device would be loaded with different applications that would help them access further training opportunities during the two-year duration of the job program.
A total of 149, 669 Nigerian graduates are reportedly now collecting their monthly stipends of N30,000 having been physically verified and deployed across the 36 states and FCT.
