Brand News Day Nigeria reports that the Lagos State Ministry of Wealth Creation has held an online sensitisation for registered Batch C NPower beneficiaries of the N-Power programme under the National Social Investment Programme of the Federal Government of Nigeria, through the National Social Safety Nets Coordinating Of ce (NASSCO) and the National Cash Transfer Of ce (NCTO) of the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development (FMHADMSD).
In her opening remarks during the webinar session, the Honourable Commissioner for Wealth Creation and Employment, Mrs Yetunde Arobieke, told the participants that the work was aimed at ensuring adherence to the EO stipulated guidelines of the State and N-Power Programme.
She informed participants that the programme, which was introduced in 2016 and targeted at young Nigerians between ages 18-35, is geared towards engaging and deploying young unemployed youths in various sectors such as Education, Health and Agriculture to serve as auxiliary staff in State institutions across the Local Government Areas for a duration of two years.
Mrs Arobieke stated that the Graduate category of the programme is divided into three main categories, namely N-Teach, N-Health and N-Agro, and has so far had over 20,000beneficiaries between 2016-2019 under the keen supervision of the Ministry and in conjunction with other State Agencies such as the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Primary Healthcare Board (PHC) and the State Agricultural Development Authority.
The State Director, National Orientation Agency (NOA), Mr Waheed Ishola, commended the Federal Government for the programme, revealing that the N-Power programme is devoid of political influence, just as he advised the beneficiaries to erase the erroneous perception of N-Power as a “national cake”
He maintained that the programme must be taken seriously as there is strict monitoring of the beneficiaries.
