According to N-power there's unprecedented surge in the number of 2017 application compared to NpowerNG 2016 So why is NpowerNG 2017 competitive ? Here are the five top reasons why NpowerNG 2017 was competitive That’s simple. 1) Trust in the NpowerNG job scheme During the 2016 application process no one ever believed that a federal job program or application could be fair without political influence. But it was fair and the world was amazed that such is happening in Nigeria for the first time. 2) Promise fulfilled Second, the federal government promised that the 200,000 successful volunteers would be paid N30,000 each per month. And they began the payment beginning from December 2016. Meaning the FG started paying 6billion Nigerian Naira per month to the successful applicants. 3) High application received in 2017 The number of applications in 2016 was low because people thought it’s a usual business. Nigerians had their hopes dashed in the past administratio...

N-power has said two million, five hundred and forty three thousand, and seventy nine unemployed Nigerians applied for the 2017 recruitment. N-power said this on its social media channels on Thursday to clarify how the 300,000 that made the final list was pre-selected. The N-Power programme commenced in 2016. The first 200,000 N-Power beneficiaries were selected from 350,000 Graduate applications. In 2017, the N-Power portal opened up for Graduate applications on the 13th of June. Applications received were 403% more than the Graduate applications received in 2016. As at the time, the application process closed in July 27th, 2017, 2,543,079 people had applied for the N-Power Graduate Programmes. In 2017, N-Power is committed to improving on the lessons learnt in 2016. To avoid some payment issues that plague(d) the 2016 beneficiaries, the BVN validation stage was introduced. Here, applicants whose names didn’t match their BVN were precluded from proceeding to the Ass...

In selecting the 300,000, which was released two days ago, N-power explained that it  took the following into consideration: 1. BVN Validation and Online Assessment Anyone who was verified for bvn automatically qualified to write the online assessment. But not all those who wrote the test were pre-selected considering the available spots for the large number of qualified applicants. 2. Achieving equity This is one of the criteria put into consideration by the Federal Government when appointment and distributing federal slots for job. Call it Federal Character if you like. 3. Linking selection to population using Federal Constituencies 4. Addressing Demand Distribution of Unemployed Graduates 5. Taking into account, Deployment/Utilization issues from 2016 6. Correcting Deployment/Utilization challenges among 2016 N-Power beneficiaries 7. Rural-Urban Distribution Balance. Priority was given to the Rural Areas especially N-Agro applicants 8. Programme Allocation – Te...
