N-Power Programme To Train 10m Nigerian Graduates By 2023, Says Osinbajo

Updated October 13, 2018

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said that N-Power Programme introduced by the Federal Government is targeted at training 10 million Nigerian graduates by 2023.

He revealed that the N-Power Programme has so far provided jobs for 500, 000 young Nigerian graduates in the last two years.
The Vice President disclosed this while delivering a special lecture on “The Challenges of Human Development in 21 Century Africa” at the prestigious Oxford University, United Kingdom.

He said, “As the proportion of the working age group of 15-59 years will continue to increase steadily over the next years, Nigeria has the advantage of “demographic dividend‟. Harnessing the demographic dividend through appropriate skill development efforts provides an opportunity to achieve inclusion and productivity within the country.

“Over the past two years, through the N-Power Programme, the largest post-tertiary employment programme in Africa, we have been able to offer skills development programmes digitally to over 500,000 young citizens between the ages of 18 and 35. We have set a target of skilling 10 million Nigerians by 2023.”

Osinbajo also highlighted the provision of social housing in a Family Homes Fund as a “core plank of the government’s empowerment approach, which is expected to provide another 1.5 million jobs by 2023.

He said, “Our Family Homes Fund aims to provide up to 500,000 housing units by 2023 using a concessional financing facility to construct houses at less than N5m, as well as a home loans assistance programme that will enable people at the bottom of the housing pyramid to buy their own homes at subsidized rates. This will be complemented by a rent-to-own scheme.”

He also noted that a total of N55 billion has been disbursed to 250,000 farmers under the administration’s Anchor Borrowers Programme scheme, which provides subsidised credit to smallholder farmers so they can boost production with guaranteed uptake by the anchor companies
He added that the continued diversification of the Nigerian economy by this administration and its massive investment on infrastructure are some of the initiatives it has deployed towards promoting growth and human capital development in the country.

According to him, “We have also prioritized spending on infrastructure. Rail, roads, and power in particular.
“Despite earning 60% less than the previous administration, we have spent N2.7 trillion in two budget cycles on capital, the highest in the nation’s history.


“We also executed a comprehensive, phased plan for ease of doing business which earned us 24 places higher on the World Bank ease of doing business index and commendation as one of the top 10 reforming economies in the world.

“We launched our energizing economies project, providing solar power to markets and economic clusters for small businesses and petty traders”, Osinbajo said.

He also inaugurated the International Advisory Board (IAB) of Oxford University’s African Studies Centre, under the School of Global and Area Studies (OSGA).

The members of the inaugurated board are eminent leaders from across the world including several African countries like Nigeria and South Africa.

They are Mr Tito Mboweni, an international advisor of Goldman Sachs, and former Chairman of the South African Reserve Bank, who will chair the board; Madame Monica Geingos, First Lady of Namibia, lawyer and entrepreneur; Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, former UN Under-Secretary for Political Affairs, one-time Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations and former Nigeria’s External Affairs Minister; and Dr. Charlotte Scott, former First Lady of Zambia and development specialist.

Others include Mr Gareth Ackerman, Chairman of Pick’n’Pay, South Africa; Mr. Alex Duncan, Director and Consultant Economist, The Policy Practice, Brighton, United Kingdom; Mr. Ivor Agyeman-Duah – Economist and author, Accra, Ghana; Governor Nasir El-Rufai, Governor of Kaduna State, Nigeria; and Ms. Linda Mabhena-Olagunju, founder and Managing Director, DLO Energy Group (Pty) Ltd, South Africa.

The Vice President was received by the Head, Oxford School of Global & Area Studies, Tim Powers; and the Director of the African Studies Centre, Prof. Wale Adebanwi.

The government of the masses.

Criminals in power

If you guys are serious start immediately. Don't wait till 2023 ..
Unemployed graduates have suffered under this administration.
This is how they promised that NYCS will be Increased and letter we found out that it was a nothing but propaganda..
What of Five thousand for graduates(even though it's nothing) yet they didn't fulfil such promise.

I don't want to discuss about what promises they made in 2015 during electioneering period, and letter they denied making such promises.

Nigerian youths are in big trouble.

Okay, Atiku will continue from where you stop in 2019

One of the reasons why Buhari will win this electio

I don't know that a pastor will turn to something else just because of the devil. Osibanjo you're now pastoring the devil.

Hahahahhaha

Lol
Don't mind them

DonFreshmoney:
So you guys don't want to exit the building. Or, u want fire to burn una yansh..

And after the training Is this what we want to hear? 4-5 years in the University is not enough training? You train them for more years for a non-existent jobs. What a shame!

Osinbanjo is truly a politician, he is just using man of God as a disguise, the other time he talked about housing for N30,000 where is it now? 10M youths from where ? Training or employment. What a shame. We honestly need to articulate, not because he is the messiah but because we need . to unseat this government and start taking steps towards the right direction.
