BUHARI PRESIDENCY KICKS OFF JOB SCHEME FOR HALF A MILLION UNEMPLOYED GRADUATES

*200,000 Nigerians selected to start work as teachers, agric & health workers in their communities December 1

*Names of successful first batch participants to be posted on N-Power Portal

ALL IS NOW SET FOR THE deployment of 200,000 unemployed graduates selected in the first batch of the Buhari administration's plan to hire half a million Nigerians.

While the 200,000 have been selected about two weeks ago, their names have now been sent to state governments and the FCT who would deploy them to their specific programme assignments. The names would also be published this week on the N-Power internet portal, while the participants would start receiving SMS messages informing them of their selection as from Monday November 21, 2016.

State governments and the FCT are also encouraged to post the names of the successful first batch applicants in their local government areas while there would be further public announcements.

Between now and the end of the month, the states and the FCT would be engaged in deploying the graduates who would formally start working and earning their stipends on December 1, 2016.

Of the 200,000 first batch, 150,000 of them would teach, 30,000 would work in the Agric sector and 20,000 in Healthcare delivery covering the three specific programme assignments.

The N-Power Volunteer Corps is an expression of President Muhammadu Buhari’s commitment to invest in the human capital development of Nigerian citizens, particularly our young people. The N-Power programmme is also an innovative means to enhance ailing public services in the area of basic education and primary healthcare. Also in the agric sector, it is aimed at achieving self-sufficiency by giving our farmers relevant advisory services.

The Federal Government of Nigeria hereby congratulates all 200,000 successful applicants in the first batch, and they are encouraged to take this opportunity seriously by learning the skills that will brighten their future. They are also implored to serve their communities with commitment and dedication.

For those who have not been selected at this time, there is a waiting list based on the total number of applicants, and subsequent batches will absorb more of the qualified applicants.

All together, the N-Power will engage and train 500,000 young unemployed graduates. It is a paid volunteering programme of a 2-year duration that engages graduates in their immediate communities, where they will assist in improving the inadequacies in the education, health, and agriculture sectors.

The 500,000 graduates under the N-Power Corps programme will be trained in skills that will enable them exit after two years to economically viable job and business opportunities.

As part of the programme, the participnts would own tablets that will contain information necessary for their specific engagements, as well as information for their continuous training and developments.

Participants will be provided teaching, instructional, and advisory solutions in 4 main focus areas, and will be paid a monthly stipend of N30,000 during the programme. The 4 main focus areas are in basic education, agriculture extension services, public health and community education (civic and adult education).

Besides the N-Power programme for undergraduates, there are other schemes for non-graduates. These are: N-Power Knowledge, which would select 25,000 young Nigerians and N-Power Build 75,000, all of whom shall be trained and paid during the duration of the scheme.

23,000 ÷ 30 = N766 daily


766÷3 meals daily = N255

That graduate will not buy a shirt , no toothpaste, No Soap, No Rent he/she must squat with someone,


While the FIRS, CBN, NNPC jobs with a good six digit monthly pay is reserved for your party elites

Will they do the job or just wait for their take-home pay at the end of the month?

We have much corrupt followership from where we look forward to getting good leadership which is not always possible.

Tufia for this govt.
So,it's cheap labour they have been looking for all these while?
23k naira in this time? This country sef.

was it not by dis time last year that diz old man promised dis employment?and zombies praised him for increasing the budget for ministry of EDU so now that we should be talking of a new budget and program is the time d oldie is talking of kicking off ,so oldie has been in the other room all diz while.....NIGERIA IS FINISHED......

well... thank God they want to start something.

but this is penny wise, pound foolish.

your policies have caused 4.5m jobs to be lost in less than 18 months, but you won't allow Nigerians rest with the noise that you want to enslave 200,000 youths.

the money that will be used for this programme would have been better channeled to the manufacturing sector.

that way, about 3m jobs would have been saved...

BeeBeeOoh:
When its time for CBN, FIRS, EFCC recruitment they kept it away from masses, but when its a teaching job they won't let the masses have their peace..



Buhari I hail thee

When it was the case in 2014, You forgot to hail Gej..yeye dey smell.
Truth is mine*

okeyley:
Issorite so all graduate na teacher teacher work them go do.. God dey watch all of una

must you always wail?

Trumpanzees(Igbos) do not need Buhari provide them jobs, afterall ,Trump will. Stupid wailers, Stupid Igbos
Truth is mine*

Audio Jobs we still hear about daily.


Buhari should stop scamming us

ProudArewa:
must you always wail?

So whats the essence of education and training of professionals if i desire to teache i enroll in the approprate field of study and i get it.



Quote me any where if this nation must sucessful STEM fields must be encoraged. The world have gone beyond most policies being dished out here.

Food for thought: can the president whose daughter studied law be pressured into teaching since she must be employed?

BeeBeeOoh:
When its time for CBN, FIRS, EFCC recruitment they kept it away from masses, but when its a teaching job they won't let the masses have their peace..



Buhari I hail thee

Na mumu dey worry all of them

Impressive, make sure over 4+ million people lose their jobs so you can employ 500k phantom (?) graduates. Brilliant idea

hahahahaa

how; do not tell me they gonna create gworo plantation so $1=N1

hahhaha our people our people

we cannot carry on dey fool for ever naw

it time to recognize what the time is

Is this job pensionable?
Is this job gratuity-able?
Can one build a career in this job?
Can one obtain loan?
If one resigns from this job,can the person qualify for vacant slot at the ministry?
What mode of dressing acceptable? Suit or casual?

These our scam elite ehn. . . Government could av paid N80,000 each and incur a monthly bill of 16,000,000,000 N16Bn/month.
They do CBN code, charge fee for other good recruitments but do M-power free and open.

They come online to rant and complain about the job of N30,000 per month while some of them have not earned up to that amount in their lives. Yet majority of them are checking their phones every seconds, checking their emails every minutes, already bookmarked the portal in their phones just to find out if they have been shortlisted. Still, they come online to form big man. Pathetic people.

It is you that's pathetic man. N30K now is like N18k before recession going by its buying power. You think one can rent an apartment, further your studies, support a relative with that kind of money ? They do CBN job 'coded' and shout about N30k job.
Let's do it like this, FG wage bill before they busted ghost workers was some N20bn higher than it is now. If they pay those guys N100,000 each, 200,000 people can be paid their salary. Why pay them N30k then? That N30k is like N18k before the recession.

The way you reason is something else. In your workplace, do all of you earn the same salaries? Do you have dispatch riders, security guards, cleaners, messengers, gate-keepers at all? Why don't your management offer them "good offers" all this while? Can you tell me categorically that all of you who are working in the office are better than them? Answer these questions in all sincerity and tell me if you couldn't see the hole in your argument.

Secondly, how many of those who are earning the so-called N18k minimum wage have resigned their jobs? Are you aware that more than 1million people actually applied for this job despite knowing that the salary is mere N30k according to you.

The problem is that most of you will be talking as if you've not been living in Nigeria or you were living in paradise before the advent of this administration.
