The federal government has said that the ongoing overhauling of the N-Power programme will bring about the employment of five million youth in five years.

This is contained in a statement by the National Programme Manager of N-Power, AKINDELE EGBUWALO.

EGBUWALO, who urged Nigerians to understand the rationale behind the suspension of the programme and the subsequent restructuring it is undergoing, said the federal government was working to restore confidence in the programme.

Giving further details on what the restructured N-Power would look like, he disclosed that it will accommodate some new programmes, in education, health, works, agriculture, technology, fashion, entertainment, and other relevant areas of skill acquisition and employability.

He also explained that suspension of the Programme became imperative following the discovery of sharp practices and to also give room for a detailed investigation into its operations in the last twelve months.

He assured all beneficiaries with genuine claims that the federal government will not owe anybody as it will resolve all cases and honour all valid outstanding obligations once the verification exercise is completed.
