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 Volunteer 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.
