FEDERAL GOVT N-POWER 2017/2018 APPLICATION

N-POWER is here again.

Skills and knowledge are the driving forces of
economic growth and social development. Despite
the current high level of unemployment, harnessing
Nigeria’s young demography through appropriate
skill development efforts provides an opportunity to
achieve inclusion and productivity within the
country. Large-scale skill development is the main
policy thrust of the N-Power Programme.
N-Power is also linked to the Federal Government’s
policies in the economic, employment and social
development arenas. 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
Volunteer 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.
N-Power will also be a platform for diversifying the
economy. N-Power is preparing young Nigerians for
a knowledge economy where, equipped with world-
class skills and certification, they become innovators
and movers in the domestic and global markets.
Nigeria will have a pool of software developers,
hardware service professionals, animators, graphic
artists, building services professionals, artisans and
others. N-Power also focuses on providing our non-
graduates with relevant technical and business skills
that enhance their work outlook and livelihood.
