What is N-Power Nigeria ?
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 Nigeria Package
N-Power
Nigeria is also linked to the Federal
Government’s policies in the economic, employment and social development
arenas. N-Power Nigeria 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 N-Package under N-Power Nigeria will ensure that each participant will learn
and practice most of what is necessary to find or create work. The N-Power
Nigeria Teacher Corp 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
Nigeria will also be a platform for
diversifying the economy. N-Power Nigeria is 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 Nigeria also focuses on providing our non-graduates
with relevant technical and business skills that enhance their work outlook and
livelihood.
In sum, N-Power Nigeria is segmented as follows:
- N-Power Nigeria Teaching work Corps- 500,000 graduates
- N-Power Nigeria Knowledge work vorps – 25,000 non-graduates
- N-Power Nigeria Builders- 75,000 non-graduates
