Npower Payment Updates And Application process

The Npower payment updates and application process is a guide on interested Nigerians who enlisted with the programme.

An important programme of the federal government to provide economic succor to Nigerian youths particularly and the unemployed generally, there had been similar initiatives of the government to create jobs and fight idleness and crime amongst youths.

It is a known fact that the problem of unemployment has become endemic in the country, and the World Bank in one of its recent reports said unemployment in Nigerian had proved a difficult statistic to interpret.

Quoting the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) it said that from 33.3 percent in Q4 of 2020 Nigeria’s unemployment rate stood at 5.3 percent (Q4 2022) and 4.1 percent (Q1 2023), based on the new Nigeria Labour Force Survey (NLFS).

Immediately upon taking the oath of office, President, Bola Tinubu, promised amongst others,  to reduce unemployment significantly and this increased interest in the Npower recruitment updates and application process.

There were backlogs of unpaid allowances for .Npower beneficiaries on the one hand, and millions of youths waiting for the opportunity to benefit.
