The Federal Government Empowerment Npower Programme Has Released A Breakdown Of How Beneficiaries Were Pre-selected.

The details: 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 Assessment Test phase stage. 2,258,266 people scaled through the BVN validation stage. They were consequently invited to proceed to the Assessment Test Phase. 1,746, 454 people honoured that invitation. In selecting the 300,000, we took the following into consideration

1. BVN Validation and Online Assessment

2. Achieving equity

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 – Teach/Agric/Health 300,000 have been pre-selected for the physical verification stage.

Applicants and the General Public must note that pre-selection does not equate Final selection.

MOn N-Power recruitment...

Many people have called me to complain about a certain list making rounds which is about 89 pages as the 2017 Npower list. It is laughable because you can’t fit 150,000 names in 89 pages let alone 300,000. So Please disregard any LIST.

We did not release any LIST this year. What we asked is for applicants to LOG ON TO OUR PORTAL AND INPUT THEIR NAMES AND UNIQUE REFERENCE NUMBERS and it will display their status. Also the portal is being updated as we go along so even if you check and they tell you to have not been preselected just calm down and check in a few days, say 2 days and by then it would have hopefully updated.

I told the technical team to ensure that we have an updated portal and to report back to me with breakdown of every state and local government as represented. Once that is done I will update you. But please just keep checking and disregard the mischievous list going round.
