Benefit of the meeting to Npower Batch A & B Beneficiaries

Others include enrolling more women on the program to empower them so that they can earn an income and be more self-sufficient while privileging N-Teach, N-Health and N-Agro as areas of key priority attention.

At the close of the session, the ministers resolved that attention should be paid to helping our youth convert knowledge into skills while providing opportunities for them to digitalize and organise markets and to achieve this they all agreed that emphasis should not be on starting new structures but building on existing ones – from the National Directorate of Employment to Digital Literacy and Skills Acquisition programme (DEEL) as well as the Work Experience Programme (WEP) of the Ministry of Youth & Sports Development.

The ministers also resolved that the core emphasis of the National Social Investment Programmes must be on the youths who account for 70 million of the Nigerian population even as youth unemployment stands at over 20% with 4.5 million entering the job market annually.

Rising, the ministers proposed the convening of a technical working group that will help to synergize and operationalize the inter-ministerial efforts.
