IN 2015, the Federal Government introduced the National Social Investment Programme (NSIP) as a deliberate effort to pull many Nigerians out of poverty through capacity building, investment and direct support. N-Power is a component of the NSIP and all other components of it have come under supervision of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development to help tackle unemployment and alleviate poverty in the country, with the focus on the youth population. The programme was grouped into four major clusters: Job Creation, Conditional Cash Transfer, School Feeding and Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP). As an employability enhancement programme, the N-Power Scheme imbibes the learn-work-entrepreneurship culture in youth between the ages of 18-35. It focuses on improving the employability and income status of young Nigerians across all the states in the country.
