Advantages and disadvantages of N-power program.




In my previous post, I wrote on the steps on how you can register for the N-POWER program and I also said I would write about the merits and demerits of the N-power program in Nigeria. I am proud to discuss here in this post the merit and demerit of N-power. As the N-power portal re-opens for the registration 13th June 2017 applicants, it is important we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of N-power scheme in Nigeria to enlighten both the graduate and non-graduates.
However, this will go a long way in preventing the dissatisfactions and disappointments that the pioneer beneficiaries experienced after they were accepted into the program. An advantage for the prospective N-power second batch is stated below.


Advantages of N-Power Scheme in Nigeria..

1. It helps to empower and equip the young Nigerians with relevant technical skills and certification so they can start-up or become innovators in both the domestic and global market and as well makes a positive impact in boosting the economy of Nigeria.
2. N-power recruitment also helps to reduce the current level of unemployment in Nigeria. Nigerian youths will start getting busy with something productive and profitable other than sitting at home and wasting their intellectual resources and also battling with Frustration, depression, suicidal thoughts, etc.
3. Apart from the regular N30,000 monthly stipends given to them by the federal government, graduates who are able to scale through all the verification exercises would also be entitled to receive the credit device facility under the scheme.
4. It is a great opportunity for the fresh graduates who are willing to venture into the business of their own to save more money for capital in addition to their little savings from the monthly allowance given to them during their youth service by the government.
5. Unlike other companies that will invite many graduates seeking a job for an interview and will employ only a few to fill up the available vacant positions, N-power 2017 scheme recruits more than 500,000 graduates. So, there is a high possibility you will be among the applicants that will be recruited.

Disadvantages of N-Power Scheme in Nigeria

1. The registration and verification exercises involve is too stressful and seems not to be well organized. Errors like page not loading, Site not available and lot more are encountered while going through the verification process on their official website (this is as a result of the site being overwhelmed). Though the problem has been reported, and the officials are trying their best to see what they can do about that.

2. After the N-power test, only few who are lucky are deployed in N-power program like N-power Health, N-power Agro, N-power tech where skills can be acquired while the other unlucky applicants are deployed as teachers and this is another demerit applicants are facing

3. You would be paid N30,000 at the end of the month which is way too small compared to the work you do

4. Another issue is that you can be deployed to a place far away from your current location despite the fact you filled your location properly on the N-power portal during registration. This only happens on few occasions.

5. N-power scheme is not a permanent job but for just a period of two years. The hustle for a good, secure and paying job will definitely continue for some youths after passing through the scheme.
