       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.
       In sum, N-Power is segmented as follows:
       N-Power Volunteer Corps- 500,000 graduates
       N-Power Knowledge – 25,000 non-graduates
       N-Power Build- 75,000 non-graduates
       WHO CAN APPLY
       N-Power aspires to provide a platform where most Nigerians can
       access skills acquisition and development. At this time however,
       the initial modular programmes in N-Power are designed for
       Nigerian citizens between the ages of 18 and 35. You will need
       to meet the minimum requirements (if any) for your respective
       programme. Generally, selection is based:
       1. on your expression of a genuine interest in whichever area
       you decide;
       2. passing the relevant tests;
       3. your willingness to push yourself beyond your comfort zone;
       and
       4. ability to show a flair to develop all the skills you need to
       be the best you can be.
       N-Power Programmes
       N-Power Teach
       N-Power Teach Volunteers will help improve basic education
       delivery in Nigeria. N-Power Teach Volunteers will be deployed
       as teacher assistants in primary schools around Nigeria. They
       will not replace the current teachers, but will work as support
       teachers across Nigeria, assisting with teaching, school
       management and other functions within the schools. Where
       possible, they will also assist in taking basic education to
       children in marginalised communities.
       N-Power Health
       N-Power Health Volunteers will help improve and promote
       preventive healthcare in their communities to vulnerable members
       of the society including pregnant women and children and to
       families and individuals.
       N-Power Agro
       N-Power Agro Volunteers will provide advisory services to
       farmers across the country. They will disseminate the knowledge
       that has been aggregated by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture
       and Rural Development in the area of extension services. They
       will also gather data of Nigeria’s agriculture assets.
