What is N-Power?
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.REGISTER HERE
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 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.
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.
In sum, N-Power is segmented as follows:REGISTER HERE
- N-Power Teachers Corps- 500,000 graduates
- N-Power Knowledge – 25,000 non-graduates
- N-Power Build- 75,000 non-graduates
