The Federal Government has said 176,160 graduates have so far been deployed under the N-Power programme.

This is in a book entitled: ‘Making Steady, Sustainable Progress for Nigeria’s Peace and Prosperity: A Mid-Term Report Card on the Buhari Administration’.

It said out of the 25,840 selected applicants left, 11,884 beneficiaries were disqualified because they had incomplete records.

It noted that 46 percent of the total 200, 000 beneficiaries selected were female.

“In addition to this, an MoU has been reached with the National Orientation Agency to also carry out monitoring and evaluation in all 36 states including the FCT,” the book read.

“The non-graduate component to kick-off once procurement is completed; the next batch of 300,000 beneficiaries are to be selected soon.”

The book is authored by the presidential media team.
