Over three million persons have applied for 400,000 N-Power jobs in the Batch C programme, the federal government has said.
Rhoda Iliya, the deputy director, information, ministry of humanitarian affairs, disaster management and social development, made this known in a statement on Friday.
The N-Power application for Batch C commenced one week ago.
“Enrolment of beneficiaries for N-Power Batch C commenced on June 26, 2020 and has received over three million applications since the portal opened,” Iliya said.
“The application process will be concluded as soon as possible to provide additional Nigerian youths access to the programme.”
On the previous batches that participated in the programme, the ministry says it will conclude activities of the independent monitors enrolled with those two batches by July 31, 2020.
“The federal government appreciates their support during the period of engagement and looks forward to on-boarding a new set of monitors with the roll-out of the Integrated National Social Investment Programme, set to kick off when the new N-Power Batch C beneficiaries come on board,” Sadiya Umar-Farouq, minister of humanitarian affairs, disaster management and social development, was quoted as saying.
