President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government is set to
begin taking applications online for positions in the 500,000
direct teacher jobs scheme, through an internet portal named
npower.gov.ng
The statement from the vice president office said on
Wednesday that the 500,000 Teacher Corps, nicknamed N-
Power Teach on the portal, is one of the three direct job
creation and training schemes Nigerians can start applying for
from Sunday, June 12.
Others are N-Power Knowledge, which will train 25,000
Nigerians in the area of technology, and N-Power Build , which
train another 75,000 in the areas of building services,
construction, utilities, hospitality and catering, automotive
vocations, aluminium and gas services. **All trainees would be
paid for the duration of their training, the statement said;
Below is the statement in full:
“The N-Power Teacher Corps initiative, which will engage and
train 500,000 young unemployed graduates, is a paid volunteer
programme of a two-year duration.
“Unemployed Nigerians selected and trained will serve in
teaching, instructional, and advisory roles in primary, and
secondary schools, agricultural extension systems across the
country, public health and community education - covering civic
and adult education.
“Besides their monthly take home pay estimated at about
N23,000, the selected 500,000 graduates will also get computer
devices that will contain information necessary for their
specific engagement, as well as information for their
continuous training and development. They get to keep the
devices even after exiting the programme.
“According to the plan of the Buhari administration, the N-
Power Teacher Corps programme is an invaluable opportunity
for young Nigerians to make immense economic and social
contributions to the nation while developing their skills. It will
also help to address the problems of inadequate teachers in
public schools.
“Also, persons enlisted under the scheme will gain work
experience and acquire key competencies through academic
and non-academic capacity building programmes intended to
improve their competitiveness in the workplace. Their devices
will come loaded with knowledge-oriented applications and
software that will enable them acquire the skills and capacity.
“Under the N-Power Knowledge scheme, there are three
aspects: Creative, Technology Software and Hardware. These
three sub-divisions would will train 25,000 young Nigerians in
all.
“Five thousand of them would be trained in animation, graphic
design, post-production, script-writing. All of those under the
sub-division of N-Power Knowledge-creative category.
“The N-Power Knowledge scheme also has a technology
category in two aspects: hardware and software. Ten thousand
Nigerians will be trained, and equipped in the area of software
development, including web designers, and another 10,000 in
hardware expertise, including to repair, maintain and assemble
mobile phones, tablets, computers and other devices.
“Also the N-Power Build category was designed realizing that
the presence of a well-trained and highly skilled youth
population in any economy has direct impact on
entrepreneurship/wealth creation, which in turn leads to a
decline in unemployment.
“N-Power Build is therefore an accelerated training and
certification (Skills to Job/Enterprise) programme that will
engage and train 75,000 young unemployed Nigerians in order
to build a new crop of skilled and highly competent workforce of
technicians, artisans and service professionals.
“There are other schemes in the Buhari presidency Social
Investment Programmes which would soon be rolled out in the
coming weeks. These include the Conditional Cash Transfer
that pays N5000 monthly to one million Nigerians, the Micro-
Credit Scheme for more than 1.5 million Nigerians, the Home
Grown School Feeding programme that will serve 5.5 million
Nigerian pupils in primary school a free hot meal per day this
year and the Education Support Grant Programme for 100,000
tertiary students in Science Technology Engineering &
