Good news! Buhari approves N4,500 each for N-power participants to buy tablets
The Nigerian federal government has approved the sum of N4,500 for each of the 200,000 beneficiaries of N-Power Volunteer Corps.
The
approved subsidy is for the purchase of an electronic tablet device.
According to Vanguard, the device would be loaded with different
applications that would help them access further training opportunities
during the two-year duration of the job program.
A total of 149, 669 Nigerian
graduates are reportedly now collecting their monthly stipends of
N30,000 having been physically verified and deployed across the 36
states and FCT.
The senior special assistant on media and publicity to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Laolu Akande, made the announcement.
He said:
"While each of the beneficiaries after being verified would select
their choice of device amongst nine different BOI pre-approved vendors,
the price ranges from N3,000 to N6,700 monthly deductions for the next
20 months.
“Therefore in some cases the
N4,500 device grant would cover the full monthly deduction cost while in
other cases the graduate authorizes BOI to deduct the additional
differential cost from their monthly stipends depending on the device
chosen.
“It was further
disclosed that all the 149,669 N-Power beneficiaries now collecting
their stipends have been physically verified and deployed, while their
given bank account information have also been matched with the Bank
Verification Number.”
The SSA also said:
“In December, about 112,475 of the N-Power graduate beneficiaries
received the N30,000 monthly stipends, and the number came close to
150,000, both in January and February meaning about that number are now
receiving their up-to-date stipends from the N-Power Volunteer Corps.”
It
is important to note that, N-Power is an employment scheme set up by
the federal government to help graduates secure the proper training and
employment necessary to help the nation's labour force.
According to the N-Power official website: 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 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 Teacher 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.
The
N-Power first list that was released is for those who applied for Npower
Tech, Agro and health. They have been deployed and started receiving
their monthly stipend.
