In what is the first roll-out of its N500 billion social investment programmes, the Nigerian government is set to begin taking applications online for positions in the 500,000 direct teacher jobs scheme, through an internet portal named CLICK HERE ----> npower.gov.ng.
While the portal would be live on Saturday June 11, applications are expected to start coming in on June 12.
Young unemployed Nigerians are advised to visit the website and apply, a statement by the vice president office said on Wednesday.
President Muhammadu Buhari had in his May 29 Democracy Day broadcast to the nation formally launched the “unprecedented social investment programmes already provided for under the 2016 Appropriation by the administration.”
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.
The statement, signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, added, “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 & Mathematics, STEM and education.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteLOL abi o...let us see if they will comment
DeleteGod! Did U read through the report before singing praises?
DeleteA job of #23,000/ month that will last for just 2years is not worth celebrating, besides its not different from the UBE going on presently.
Destroyed Mugu, what will U do after U are disengaged in two years time?
It beats my (El-Matorious') imagination why U are suffering yet ready to die for those U are making U suffer?
After 1999 your friends politicians were blaming years of military rule for the state of the nation, even when things were better in military era than when they are ruling as civilians(they were even part of the military then- eg OBJ).
Now they are blaming PDP, even when most of them are with the PDP then. My guys ( Destroyed Mugu and Ode- MUMU ) can't U see that these guys are getting richer while majority of of us are hustling to make ends meet?
Pls let's not deceived ourselves if we don't find a way to get our hands on the national cake, we shall just continue to complain while our politicians continue to enjoy.
Mumus!
Always silly. I really don't understand your lifestyle. You're as silly as olubu soup

ReplyDeleteI stand gallant with unflinching support of Mr President. Nigeria will rise again!
ReplyDeleteIt's not all about rolling out programmes in the country. The issue is for how long and what is the assurance for them to be fully employed? So many programs from all Head of States and President. Why can't they allow these programs to continue even after a President who initiated the program is gone. For real I hope these scam programs is not what Bunsen want to spent the recovered money on? All said for far is job creations and empowering. What happen to electricity and agriculture. For me I am 20% in support of these but Bunsen should give Nigerians stable electricity, invest more in agriculture and roads networks. Invest in Cocoa, Rice and palm oil. These will pull out millions of unemployed graduated from the streets and keep them busy. Talking about 500,000 employment package compare to Millions unemployed is more or less like doing nothing. If the money recovered so far is well spent in Agriculture, Electricity, Roads, Iron and Steel. Then millions will be gainfully employed not the 500k they are talking about. Buhari and his cabinet should wake up from their sleep and face the real problems facing the country and stop giving Nigerians pitch of salt to lick. When we have drums of it available for everybody.
ReplyDeleteWhat is so special about the programme. Is it not the responsibility of govt to provide such avenue? Has previous govts not done such before? There's nothing spectacular about this govt truth be told.
ReplyDeleteI hope this works because I am losing patient with this change agenda.

2 years graduate contract jobs with Nigeria Federal Govt for N23,000/month.I bet you that they will collect bribe at work bcos it doesn't add up. Is this an extension of NYSC? what a shame!!when the entry level in federal civil service is 125K. This govt should realize that creating enabling environment to revive businesses and encouraging investors to the country which will create befitting employments to the masses is all what we want. So after 2years of training what would they do? the'll reapply or start looking for job? how can they get marry and have children living with 23k. Abeg..
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of programme on earth will take young Nigerian graduates a whole 24months with just a token of 23,000 a month? Even masters degree na 18 months. And the longest training so far in the country is the NPF and them the collect their full salaries. The presidency should better check their programmes and be very committed for effectiveness.
ReplyDeletewhich 500,000 unemployed graduates? have you paid all the States owing salaries? who is fooling who?
ReplyDeleteJonathan did not make noise when he did his own. Parpetual noise maker. How are we sure you will do it, you had canceled most of your promises. I do not believe this, lets wait and see.
