Dr. Yilwatda outlined several measures being taken to improve N-Power, ensuring that beneficiaries are equipped with the skills needed to transition smoothly into the private sector. According to him, the reform will prioritize transparency, efficiency, and economic empowerment.

Why N-Power is Undergoing Reforms

The N-Power programme, launched in 2016, was designed to provide job opportunities and skill development for Nigerian youths. However, over the years, concerns about delayed payments, inefficiency, and lack of sustainable job placement have prompted the need for urgent restructuring.

With Tinubu’s latest directive, the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation is expected to introduce new strategies that will not only ensure prompt disbursement of stipends but also enhance the employability of beneficiaries.

Dr. Yilwatda assured Nigerians that these reforms are aimed at making the N-Power programme more impactful and beneficial to the country’s unemployed youth.

When Will the New Changes Take Effect?

While a specific timeline has not been given, the Ministry is expected to commence the reforms immediately. Beneficiaries are advised to stay updated with official announcements from the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.

President Tinubu’s directive signals a strong commitment to tackling youth unemployment and ensuring that social intervention programmes like N-Power deliver real value. As the reforms unfold, all eyes will be on the Ministry to see how effectively these changes will be implemented.
