WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT N-POWER


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.

The N-Power recruitment commences in 9hours time and here are some facts you need to know about it.
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.

In sum, N-Power is segmented as follows:

1. N-Power Volunteer Corps- 500,000 graduates
2. N-Power Knowledge – 25,000 non-graduates
3. N-Power Build- 75,000 non-graduates

WHO CAN APPLY

N-Power aspires to provide a platform where most Nigerians can access skills acquisition and development. At this time however, the initial modular programmes in N-Power are designed for Nigerian citizens between the ages of 18 and 35. You will need to meet the minimum requirements (if any) for your respective programme. Generally, selection is based:

1. on your expression of a genuine interest in whichever area you decide;
2. passing the relevant tests;
3. your willingness to push yourself beyond your comfort zone; and
4. ability to show a flair to develop all the skills you need to be the best you can be.

While there are fixed requirements along the way, we will be relying on you to take ownership of the process and take the lead in shaping your route, by making the most of the training that you will receive.

For the purposes of N-Power, Graduate means having a minimum of a Higher National Diploma (HND) or a Bachelors Degree from a higher institution.

A morning charge by Bishop Paul Francis Lanier

Oh servant of the Lord…   I dare you to sit in the corner of that dark room,  and for just a moment look through your tears and recall  that hallowed memory when He Called your name.  You trembled at Heaven's audacity, and yet, you never stood so tall.  Yes, that cherished thing is marred by time and abrasions of battle.  You thought to abandon it, but your eyes could see nothing else.  Can you smell it? It carries the faint aroma of oil that has been smeared upon you time and again from Heaven's Hand. You love that smell. It soothes your soul in fretful nights.  Does anything feel so precious as those brittle pages of His Word on your fingers?  Is there any euphoria as great as knowing you have heard Him speak to your heart?  Even your wounds are sermons He Preaches through you. Your failures could not chase Him from your side. ..... Rejection and disappointment only magnify His faithfulness to you.  Ooo...

Drug Abuse And The Nigerian youths

A drug refers to a substance that could bring about a change in the biological function through its chemical actions (Okoye, 2001). It is also considered as a substance that modifies perceptions, cognition, mood, behaviour and general body functions (Balogun, 2006). They could thus, be considered as chemical modifiers of the living tissues that could bring about physiological and behavioural changes (Nnachi, 2007) Drug abuse is a major public health problem all over the world (UNODC) (2005).
