N-POWER, FG'S 500,000 JOBS' SCHEME FOR UNEMPLOYED GRADUATES, OTHERS ENTER ASSESSMENT PHASE

About a million Nigerian undergraduates who have applied online for the N-Power programme of the Buhari presidency would now be assessed in order to pick the final 500,000 for the two-year volunteer positions.
N-Power also has programmes for non-graduates.
Earlier today the Federal Government released a schedule for the next phase of the N-Power Programme, which is the job creation and empowerment initiative of its Social Investment Programme.

Under the next phase of the programme, candidates will be assessed in phases based on their specific chosen programmes before the final selection.
Under this phase, applicants are to log in and fill in their phone numbers and surnames as contained in their original application, using their personal profile (which has been opened for every applicant).
In addition, all candidates will be notified by SMS of their assessment the day before.
All assessments will include some personal questions and other questions testing basic knowledge of English, General Knowledge and Quantitative Reasoning.

Applicants should also note that they will be tested on other programme-specific questions depending on the programme they applied for.

Applicants are to note also that they can take their tests on a smart-phone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer provided that the devices have internet connection.
Successful applicants will be selected to participate in the N-Power programme.

Applicants can only gain access to their profile for assessment as represented in the schedule which breaks down applicants in batches by the first letter in their surnames.
Based on the schedule, applicants for the N-Power Teach programme will be first in line, starting on Tuesday September 20, 2016 and applicants whose surnames fall between the alphabets V-Z (e.g. Venda, Wushishi, Xiaver, Yusuf, Zikora) should log in and take their assessments on the stipulated date.
A schedule for each programme’s assessment is represented below

What a comprehensive statement! God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

watin concern me abeg follow my new acc on instagram "4ttuunnee" (I follow my followers back)

It's good to be back after ban from Nairaland for some days. but I think I should know my offence

N-NONSENSE

O-Power is next after this.

Some ediots have been asking me where is the jobs Buhari promised. Hope those ediots are reading this post now

Small brain! you don't have to quote your stupidity!!!

[size=18pt]Will This N-Power REDUCE N-Poverty rate?[/size]

It's ok

Let's be watching...

I even doubt the viability of this program... Whether they'll be able to pay people in the long run, and whether the next administration would not cancel it.


Neteller here: .com.ng

This N-power programme is kinda overhyped at the first instance

Definitely one of many positive steps we anticipate.. The pay looks small but can at least ensure d compulsory 2 square meals to survive till something better comes up..

God bless PMB and his crew..

500 thousand jobs down without having to run marathon at national stadium killing our youths.


10 thousands police recruitment still there

EFCC about to post names


Ndlea about to start.


All recruitment open to all.. no one is asking you to bring 3000 at th end of the day kill you.


Blind bats are too blind to see cos of hatred and bigotry.

when me I don almost forget my detaiks sef..which kin tin cum be ds?....with heavy traffic on dose sites too....

Government....ijoba

Nice one, Naijabet man say so

There is one tin I observed in dis administration whenever buhari is d country he doesn't sign tins quick to carry out, wenever is out of d country is vice osibanjo dont waste time signing tinz to be carried out for nigerians. If he continue like dis he will be the best vice president Nigeria as ever had. Just as we have the best ever president Dr. Goodluck ebele Jonathan.

God bless PMB

It is a good initiative for starters but don't let us get it twisted, do you know what proportion of Nigerian's population is 500,000?

Nigeria's population: 170,000,000
N-Power: 500,000 jobs

That is less that 1%
Govt has to address core things like stable electricity that will create a sustainable environment for businesses.

God bless PMB

The number of youths to be enroll for this scheme (half a million) is very small compared to the mammoth 70million jobless Nigerian youths in the labour market, in this time of recession and hunger in the land.
