The N-Power was introduced in 2016 by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration “to imbibe the entrepreneurship culture in the Nigerian youth aged between 18 and 35 — both graduates and non-graduates”.

Allnews understands that the Buhari administration intends to expand the scheme from approximately 500, 000 to accommodate one million beneficiaries in the next phase. This, to make it the largest post-tertiary job scheme in Africa.
