Hello everyone, good to be with you again! This time however, I like to talk about the trending intent of the Buhari’s led administration. Am sure it’s no longer breaking news to you that this current government during the electioneering campaign promised us mass employment to give succour to the teaming unemployed youths. So on May 29, during his democracy day speech precisely, the president broke the news that
his government is ready to bring their promise into actualization starting from June
The employment scope of the programme seems to me as somewhat distributive and applaudable. The breakdown will be of three categories and as follows;
1. N-Power Teach (500,000 slots):
The N-Power Teacher Corps programme will be an invaluable opportunity for unemployed Nigerian youth to make immense economic and social contributions to the nation while developing their skills. It is supposed to help address the observed problems of inadequacies especially in the aspect of teaching personnel in public schools.
2. N-Power Knowledge (25,000 slots):
The three subcategories under this scheme will be: Creative, Technology Software and Hardware. Ten thousand will be trained, and equipped in the area of software development, including web designers, and another ten thousand in hardware expertise including repairing, maintain and assemble mobile phones, tablets, computers and other devices. Then the remaining five thousand of them will be trained in Animation, Graphic Design, Post-Production, and Script-Writing.
3. N-Power Build (75,000 slots):
N-Power Build is an accelerated training and certification (Skills to Job/Enterprise) programme which will engage seventy-five thousand Nigerians in order to build a new set of skilled and highly competent workforce of technicians, artisans and service professionals.
The supposed programme comes with some supposed benefits like;
Salary of N23,000, a computer device with installed instructional materials for all applicants; which will eventually become their property at the end of the programme, various training and seminars which will last for a period of two year duration, and certificate of participation after all is said and done.
According to sources, the requirement for eligibility will be as follows;
BVN number, Academic certificates, NYSC discharge certificate, NYSC number, Curriculum vitae, Passport photograph and an active e-mail address.
MATTER ARISING
Nevertheless, I sincerely concur that we have to start somewhere but this offer seem to amaze me. Or how will you translate a ridiculous salary of 23k for a period of two solid years without increment or signs of promotion only for applicants to be shown the door and compensated with another certificate destined to be valueless at the end of two years? Are you really sure this is not a mockery of the certificate we went to acquire for five good years at the university? But wait! Can any of these people allow their own children apply for this humiliating programme? And is this not a bombardment on the already dyeing educational sector; since every nick and harry will be applying; or is it initiated to nullify or question the existence and competence of the National Teachers’ Institute?
Please, let me halt here to see your view of this. Could this be a sign of probable light at the end of the tunnel of this administration? Should we still be hopeful?
