In her remarks at the event, she said this is in line with President Muhammadu Buhari’s directives for the expansion of the programme to accommodate an additional five million beneficiaries.

However, prospective applicants of the Npower Programme who are yet to benefit from the Programme took the news as a good development not knowing that it was a fake news.

The news came after a new set of volunteers were recruited into the Npower Programme as batch C. N-Power is a youth empowerment scheme of the Federal Government under the National Social Investment Programme that provides a platform for skills acquisition and development for hundreds of thousands of beneficiaries.
