NPower batch C: 6.4 million Nigerians applied for youth empowerment scheme

A total of 6.4 million Nigerians reportedly submitted applications for the N-Power Batch C youth empowerment scheme initiated by the Muhammadu Buhari administration.

The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Farouq, confirmed this in Abuja on Tuesday.

Recall that the incumbent government initiated the N-Power scheme in June 2016 to curtail the issues of youth unemployment and help increase social development in the country.

First batch beneficiaries of the empowerment programme had since been graduated after receiving series of trainings, payment and social engagement for a period of four years.
