N-Power: FG evolves new template for extension of programme

The Honourable Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management,  
Sadiya Umar Farouk, has stated that the N-Power started as an intervention for job creation.

She says Batch C is a continuation of the ongoing strategy and an extension of the Buhari administration's commitment to job creation and youth development.

"Based on the implementation of these SIPs since 2016, the programmes are undergoing restructuring to maximise their impact and deliver more socioeconomic benefits to the poor and vulnerable in the society."

The N-Power programme provides young Nigerians with job opportunities. It provided opportunities to over 500,000 Nigerians. In view of this, President Buhari approved the extension of the programme to 1million new beneficiaries; 500k per stream.

The N-Power programme will now be administered through the NASIMS which cuts across the whole value change of other programmes under the Ministry.

The programme is now positioned to be more strategic through the NASIMS. Beneficiaries will now be able to get more from programme, and experience a seamless verification process as well as an efficient transition and exit management plan through the NASIMS.

Beneficiaries can now log into nasims.gov.ng to take their test and subsequently carry out the process.

npower@nasims.gov.ng is the dedicated email address for complaints and enquiries.

The Ministry has taken stringent steps to ensure that the registration and verification as well as the onboarding process will be carried out online and on a centralised system.
