NAPEP was established to replace short-term poverty solutions with sustainable, long-term impact. This year’s programme is tailored to include diverse populations—youths, women, the unemployed, physically challenged individuals, and underserved rural communities. With Nigeria’s population facing rising economic pressures, NAPEP presents a powerful response to poverty and social inequality. This initiative is being implemented in collaboration with other federal ministries, local government councils, and certified training institutions.
Unlike most government initiatives, NAPEP has a low entry barrier: all you need is to be a Nigerian citizen, aged between 18 and 65, and hold a minimum of an O-Level (WAEC/NECO/GCE) certificate. You do not need a university degree, and there are zero registration fees—making this one of the most accessible empowerment programmes in the country.
Participants who are selected will undergo a structured training program depending on their selected interest area (agriculture, fashion, carpentry, plumbing, ICT, auto repair, and more). In addition to free training, selected individuals will receive a ₦100,000 monthly stipend (disbursed upon meeting minimum performance benchmarks), free learning materials, and post-program support including access to micro-loans, business mentoring, or employment placement where applicable.
This is not just a training initiative—NAPEP 2025 is part of a national movement to transform human capital into economic productivity. The program targets the root causes of poverty and unemployment by equipping participants with hands-on skills, entrepreneurial knowledge, and access to resources that will help them become self-reliant and job creators.
One of the program’s core objectives is to foster inclusive participation—giving preference to women-led households, internally displaced persons, persons living with disabilities, and individuals from underdeveloped rural areas. It also supports specific subprogrammes such as the Youth Empowerment Scheme (YES), Rural Infrastructure Development Scheme (RIDS), and Social Welfare Services Scheme (SOWESS).

This opportunity of a lifetime is expected to benefit over 100,000 Nigerians nationwide in 2025 alone, contributing to job creation and economic upliftment on a wide scale. NAPEP officials have confirmed that this year’s program has been restructured for greater transparency, higher efficiency, and real-time monitoring of participants’ progress and payment disbursement.
If selected, participants are required to:
- Attend all scheduled training sessions.
- Participate in assessments and practical tasks.
- Submit reports or complete project work (depending on category).
- Use the stipend responsibly to support learning or small-scale ventures.
