Meanwhile, Newsone reports that the Federal Government of Nigeria led by then President, Muhammadu Buhari, established the National Social Investment Programme (NSIP) in 2016, to tackle poverty and hunger across Nigeria.
Similarly, the N-Power scheme was set up by the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari on 8 June 2016, to address the issues of youth unemployment and help increase social development. The scheme was created as a component of the National Social Investment Program (NSIP), to provide a structure for large-scale and relevant work skills acquisition and development and to ensure that each participant will learn and practice most of what is necessary to find or create work.
Applicants are selected and placed in several places known as the primary place of assignment (PPA). These PPA can be found by checking the Npower Deployment Status. Applicants will then be paid specific stipends monthly by the scheme.
