Federal Government N-Power Health Corps Programme 2017 – Nationwide
The Federal Government of Nigeria has designed the N-Power
Programme to drastically reduce youth unemployment. N-Power is also linked to
the Federal Government’s policies in the economic, employment and social
development arenas. 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. 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.
