About
a million Nigerian undergraduates who have applied online for the N-Power
programme of the Buhari presidency would now be assessed in order to pick the
final 500,000 for the two-year volunteer positions.
N-Power
also has programmes for non-graduates.
Earlier
today the Federal Government released a schedule for the next phase of the
N-Power Programme, which is the job creation and empowerment initiative of its
Social Investment Programme.
Under
the next phase of the programme, candidates will be assessed in phases based on
their specific chosen programmes before the final selection.
Under
this phase, applicants are to log in and fill in their phone numbers and
surnames as contained in their original application, using their personal
profile (which has been opened for every applicant).
In
addition, all candidates will be notified by SMS of their assessment the day
before.
All
assessments will include some personal questions and other questions testing
basic knowledge of English, General Knowledge and Quantitative Reasoning.
Applicants
should also note that they will be tested on other programme-specific questions
depending on the programme they applied for.
Applicants
are to note also that they can take their tests on a smart-phone, tablet,
laptop or desktop computer provided that the devices have internet connection.
Successful
applicants will be selected to participate in the N-Power programme.
Applicants
can only gain access to their profile for assessment as represented in the
schedule which breaks down applicants in batches by the first letter in their
surnames.
Based
on the schedule, applicants for the N-Power Teach programme will be first in
line, starting on Tuesday September 20, 2016 and applicants whose surnames fall
between the alphabets V-Z (e.g. Venda, Wushishi, Xiaver, Yusuf, Zikora) should
log in and take their assessments on the stipulated date.
A
schedule for each programme’s assessment is represented below
