Why 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.

Large-scale skill development is the main policy thrust of the N-Power Programme.
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.
The modular programmes under N-Power will ensure that each participant
will learn and practice most of what is necessary to find or create
work. The N-Power Teacher Corps involves a massive deployment of 500,000
trained graduates who will assist to improve the inadequacies in our
public services in education, health and civic education. Some of these
graduates will also help in actualizing Nigeria’s economic and
strategic aspirations of achieving food security and self-sufficiency.
N-Power is also preparing young
Nigerians for a knowledge economy where, equipped with world-class
skills and certification, they become innovators and movers in the
domestic and global markets. Nigeria will have a pool of software
developers, hardware service professionals, animators, graphic artists,
building services professionals, artisans and others. N-Power also
focuses on providing our non-graduates with relevant technical and
business skills that enhance their work outlook and livelihood.
In sum, N-Power is segmented as follows:
- N-Power Teachers Corps– 500,000 graduates
- N-Power Knowledge – 25,000 non-graduates
- N-Power Build– 75,000 non-graduates
