About Npower
The N-Power Programme, under the National Social Investment Programme, is the Federal Government of Nigeria’s direct intervention to tackle youth unemployment and re-energize public service delivery in four key sectors Education, Agriculture, Health and Vocational Training. This mandate will be achieved by training and providing jobs for millions of young and unemployed Nigerian graduates between the ages of 18-35 across the 774 Local Governments of the federation. This is in line with Mr. President’s goal to lift 100 million Nigerians out of poverty in 10 years.
How N-Power makes a Difference
The N-Power programme is subdivided into the following
Graduate Programme
N-Teach
The N-Teach programme lasts for a year and each beneficiary is entitled to 30,000-naira monthly stipend for work done.
N-Power since its inception has deployed 900,000 beneficiaries to primary schools as teaching assistants in various primary schools in the country. In collaboration with the Ministry of Education, N-Power has been able to train and deploy N-Teach beneficiaries to schools. Such a huge influx of teachers into these schools has improved the delivery of education for the future of the country.
Graduate Programme

Through the N-Power Health program, young graduates are trained to work as support health assistants. The N-Health programme lasts for a year and each beneficiary is entitled to 30,000-naira monthly stipend for work done.
