The applicants for the 2017
N-Power, the employment scheme of the federal government, are currently
undergoing online tests.
The N-Power Volunteer Corps is part of the Federal government’s Social Investment Programmes, under which it plans to hire 300,000 unemployed graduates in 2017.
As part of the prerequisites for
recruitment, applicants in different categories in N-Power commenced online
assessment on July 1. So far, 3 out of 4 categories have now attempted the
test. They are Tax, Health and Agro.
Assessment test for N-Power Agro
applicants ended August 1 while N-Teach assessment tests commenced on
Wednesday, August 9.
The information is contained in
an update/reminder on the N-Power website.
N-Power Teach volunteers are
expected to improve basic education delivery in Nigeria and will be deployed as
teaching assistants in primary schools nationwide.
The programme explains that they
will not replace the current teachers, but are to work as support teaching
staff, assist with school management and other functions within the schools.
A check in the N-power portal
also revealed that N-power teach applicants will undertake 11 general question
test under 20 minutes and are allowed to attempt the test twice.
According to an update on the
portal, this quiz will close on August 31.

two years and participants will undergo an initial induction training prior to
deployment.
Meanwhile, the Kogi State Governor,
Yahaya Bello, has assured the N-Power teach volunteers in the state that they
will be absorbed into the civil service at the end of their service.
The N-power portal, which first
went live on June 11, 2016 recorded over 400,000 successful registrations with
the selection and engagement of 200,000 unemployed graduates as the first batch
of the half a million the Buhari administration plans to hire for the 2-year
paid volunteer job programme.
The N-power portal, which was
reopened on June 14, was slated to close on July 13; but Acting President Yemi
Osinbajo intervened and extended registration by two weeks.
