If you’ve been looking for a solid opportunity to upgrade your skills, earn a living, and break free from poverty, the Federal Government has something special lined up. It’s called the NPRGS Initiative for Poverty Reduction, and it’s part of a bigger plan to empower young Nigerians just like you through real, hands-on training.
Think of it as an empowerment program in Nigeria that’s not just promising change, it’s already making moves.
What’s This FG NPRGS Initiative About?
So, what exactly is NPRGS about?
The National Poverty Reduction with Growth Strategy (NPRGS) is a major project from the Federal Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning. It’s being carried out through the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Technical, Vocational, and Entrepreneurship Education (OSSAP-TVEE).
The Goal is to Train, empower, and uplift Nigerian youth by giving them technical and vocational skills that actually make them employable or help them start something of their own.
