The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved a new scheme that is targeted at creating employment for 60,000 Nigerians aged 18-25 years.

This was announced Wednesday by the Minister of Budget and Planning, Udoma Udoma while briefing State House correspondents at the end of the meeting of the council chaired by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Mr Udoma said the new scheme is called the N-Power knowledge multi-track youth empowerment programme.

He said under the scheme, 12,000 unemployed or under-employed graduates aged 18-25 yrs will be trained and given relevant devices afterwards.

He also said the training will be on mobile computing and commonly used electronic devices.
Mr Udoma said the programme, which will be run under the National Social Investment Programme (NSIP), is open to all unemployed graduates.

He also said after the training, each of the initial 12,000 selected and trained “will be empowered to train five other youth, leading to additional 60,000 jobs”

He said the contract for the programme was awarded to Softcome Ltd working with the officials of NSIP.

The minister also said the federal government will spend N259,000 per youth on the training while an additional 207,000 will be spent for work tools.

He put the value of the programme at N5,595,669,250 with a completion period of nine months.

After wasting 4to5years in school and 10years without a worthwhile job. Now age and govt have screened you out, but they are not God ooo

Any employment scheme,that is not driven by private sector is a charade.
After driving investors out of Nigeria,Buhari and his 24 thieves initiate schemes that will enhance their ability to loot more.
Buhari is killing Nigeria,by the time he is done with his second tenure,Venezuela will be far better than Nigeria.

We promised 3million jobs yearly and we can only deliver 60,000 jobs in 4years. This shows that my administration is really working and it is the best administration in Nigeria.

Very soon we will start producing pencils and toothpick as part of our technological achievement.

60000 this is a good start for nigeria

Good vision. Just that the age limit should have reached 30 years. People hardly graduate at 25 and bellow because of strike and other exogenous factors.
