What Is N-Power All About | www.npower.gov.ng

If you have been in Nigeria for the past one year, you must be familiar with the term N-Power. But, despite the ubiquitous usage of the term “N-Power”, the number of Nigerians who do not know what it is all about, outweighs those who know.

That is to say that fewer persons are aware of this social-economic opportunity.

It is, therefore, our privilege to answer the question, What is N-power all about?. It is our belief that you would find this very useful.

What Is N-Power All About

N-Power is a social-economic program of the federal republic of Nigeria. It was established to provide economic and employment opportunities for Nigerian citizens across the federation. 

N-Power addresses the challenge of youth unemployment by providing a structure for large scale and relevant work skills acquisition and development while linking its core and outcomes to fixing inadequate public services and stimulating the larger economy.

The modular programmes under N-Power will ensure that each participant will learn and practice most of what is necessary to find or create work.

The N-Power Teacher Corp involves a massive deployment of 500,000 trained graduates who will assist to improve the inadequacies in our public services in education, health and civic education.  Some of these graduates will also help in actualising Nigeria’s economic and strategic aspirations of achieving food security and self-sufficiency.
