What is N-Power?
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.
