Nigeria: Massive job opportunites available at N-Power Health

The Federal Government of Nigeria has designed the N-Power Programme to drastically reduce youth unemployment. The website has over 35 million views already as the unemployment rate in Nigeria is really high as we all know. The site reportedly crashed a few hours after it was launched but is now up and running.


The focus is to provide our young graduates and non-graduates with the skills, tools and livelihood to enable them advance from unemployment to employment, entrepreneurship and innovation.

The first phase of N-Power will target Nigeria’s critical needs in education, agriculture, technology, creative, construction and artisanal industries.

"N-Power is also preparing Nigeria for a global outsourcing push where our young Nigerians can export their services to work on global projects that earn Nigeria, foreign exchange" the website says.

The N-Power Teacher Corps  will engage and train 500,000 young unemployed graduates. It is a paid volunteering programme of a 2 year duration. The 500,000 graduates under the N-Power Corps programme will get computing devices that will contain information necessary for their specific engagement, as well as information for their continuous training and development. Participants will provide teaching, instructional, and advisory solutions in 4 key areas; Agro, Health, Teaching and Community Education, Creative, Tech Hardwarem .

Let's look at the health sector:
