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.
N-Power is also linked to the Federal Government’s policies in the economic, employment
and social development arenas. 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 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 actualising Nigeria’s economic and strategic
aspirations of achieving food security and self-sufficiency.

N-Power will also be a platform for diversifying the economy. N-Power 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 also focuses on
providing our non-graduates with relevant technical and business skills that enhance their
work outlook and livelihood.
