N-Power begins recruitment of new beneficiaries

The federal government says it has begun recruiting a new set of Batch-C N-Power beneficiaries.

The humanitarian ministry had last week announced the disengagement of thousands of graduates comprising of both Batch A and B volunteers benefiting from the federal government’s monthly N-Power scheme.

It subsequently began enrolling a fresh Batch C of volunteers today.

The ministry explained that the decision followed efforts to provide economic opportunities for more Nigerian youth.

In tweets posted on the N-Power page on Friday, the government highlighted steps and procedures for intending applicants willing to apply to the scheme.

According to the post, N-Power portal would reopen for fresh applications from 11:45 p.m. tonight.

The N-Power Programme was inaugurated by President Buhari in 2016 to reduce poverty, unemployment and social insecurity among Nigerians.

It involves the deployment of thousands of unemployed graduates to schools and other institutions to work there while the government pays them a stipend of N30,000 monthly.
