In 2016, the Federal Government, FG undertook the largest post-tertiary recruitment exercise in Africa when it engaged 200,000 young Nigerians in the N-Power Volunteer Corps Programme.


In partnership with State Government, these 200,000 young Nigerians were deployed to public Primary schools, Primary Healthcare Centres and agriculture development project centres in all the Local Government Areas in Nigeria. The FG’s strategy uses the perennial problems that beset the nation-unmanned classrooms due to low teacher to pupil ratio in public Primary schools; high rate of preventable diseases; lack of science and knowledge to bolster agriculture productions.

This year, N-Power is recruiting an additional 300,000 to bring the total number to 500,000. The application process has been well over 2.45 million applications. The Acting President, while extending the two-week grace period assured that the selection process for the second batch will match the first as it will be characterised by transparency. The hallmark of the N-Power process, as indeed all other National Social Investment Programmes, has been run to be devoid of manipulation and undue influence to reach the common Nigerians who really need help.


Prof. Osinbajo also activated the deliver process for the N-Power Device. The administration is using Technology to drive the capacity building and skills development needs of the N-Power. Effective large-scale training for 500,000 young Nigerians would have been impossible without technology. With the device, the FG is providing training on 3 fronts. These are: first, to build capacity to undertake Primary assignments; secondly, to build capacity to make young people employable and thirdly; build capacity around exit skills to prepare them for more economic endeavours.
Also, working with the Bank of Industry, the Federal Government has been able to stimulate demand for tablets and content produced by Nigerian Companies.
