The N-Power is a scheme set up by the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari since 8 June 2016, to address the issues of youth unemployment and help increase social development.
The scheme was created as a component of National Social Investment Programmes (NSIP), to provide a structure for large scale and relevant work skills acquisition and development and to ensure that each participant will learn and practice most of what is necessary to find or create work.
N-Power is a paid programme of a fixed duration, aimed at engaging beneficiaries in their states of residence.
