No fewer than 290,000 applications hit the N-Power job portal on Friday, just three days after the portal was opened, a Presidential aide said on Friday.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Job Creation, Mr Afolabi Imoukhuede, gave the information during an interactive session with the first batch of the scheme’s beneficiaries in Edo at the Urhokpota Hall, Benin City.

According to him, 200,000 graduates are already participating in the scheme while the next batch of 300,000 will be engaged from the new applicants.

“”The recruitment portal opened on Wednesday and 290,000 applications have entered as at this morning.

“”The next recruitment will be very competitive.

“”If we do validation of data and any applicant fails at the point of recruitment he or she has lost the chance,’’ he said.

He expressed displeasure with the wave of wrong data fed into the portal by graduate applicants and said such problems were discouraging.

Imoukhuede told the volunteers that while the scheme was making efforts to assist them to validate their entries it would not do same for the next batch of recruits.

“”The Federal Government is spending N6billion on stipends to current beneficiaries every month and the amount is not a child’s play.

“”It is a lifeline to lift you out of unemployment and out of poverty.

“”This is a serious business to reduce unemployment and you have to maximize this chance,’’ he advised the youth.

The SSA advised applicants to file their applications by themselves and ensure that the information asked for in the application is correct and verifiable.

He acknowledged the challenges encountered by volunteers in the scheme which were largely caused by them and called on the new applicants to ensure that they did not make same mistakes.

Imoukhuede also said that many of the applicants residing in the rural areas stood better chance of being recruited as emphasis would be on residence of the applicants to curb rural-urban migration.

“”We do not encourage state re-deployment because the scheme is unlike the National Youth Service Corps.

“”Anyone who is not ready to do volunteer job in his state of domicile should not bother to apply,’’ he added.

The Presidential aide announced that deployment of the non-graduate applicants successful from the screening of applications received in 2016 would be done in batches from July/August 2017.

This figure is not to be celebrated.
It shows high level of unemployment and decadency in the economy.

I hope dey will get the jobs. not who you know things

And so... You haven't seen anything, 1 million sef go still join. If only FG can use dier head and change the 30k to 50k e go make sense, shebi they talk say Nigeria get money so tey if they give all of us above 18yrs 1 million naira change go still remain, ehn oya na, haba.

Who would have thought this N-power would ever work and last this long. So many graduate who were jobless are given new hope. Some wise beneficiaries from last year's have already started small scale business with amounts saved so far. Kudos to the Federal government for this.

loool. una neva see anything

More 2million are coming

please i need more clarification. NPower is it only for teaching? Must u be redeployed to ur community? Thanks.

What is the fate of those(npower 2016 waiting list applicants)who got congrat message from FG Npower Team on Monday? We never receive any ACESS DETAILS to login to npvn site as the message claims since Monday. Or the message we received not from FG Npower Team?

Nigerians and mediocrity... pheeew. Is this something to be proud of? 6billion every month. This is enough to build enough factories, industries and other institutions that will translate into development and growth. Are the skills gained competitive? Does it fit into what other countries may need? Teach me how to fish, don't give me the fish.

you'll do well to lay your complaints on any of their social media handles.
