Physical verification date for N-Power candidates announced.
The candidates pre-selected for the NPower Volunteer Scheme will undergo their physical verification exercise from Monday, 4th to Thursday, 14th December, 2017 at various 774 local government headquarters nationwide.
According to the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Job Creation /Youth Employment, Mr Afolabi Imoukhuede, who made the disclosure recently, the verification would be done with the N-Power stakeholders in the states such as the National Orientation Agency, N-Power State team, National Assembly Monitors and Observers.
Imoukhuede explained that pre-selection could not be equated to final recruitment as those who fell short of the verification criteria and made faulty declarations in their applications would still be disqualified.
Accordingly, the presidential aide noted that after the compilation of successfully verified candidates, the final selection would be done followed by the deployment of the volunteers in the Agro, Teach, and Health categories across the country.
He noted that out of 2.54 million applicants, 2.25 million had their Bank Verification Numbers (BVN) validated prior to the assessment test phase while only 1.75 million responded to invitations to write tests.
