The Nigerian government has been doing well in attempting to curtail poverty in the country, thence coming up with empowerment programs – one after the other. It is this energy that has resulted in some fake empowerment programs on the internet. Therefore people want to be sure whether or not some programs are valid.
That will lead us to examine everything we need to discuss regarding the National Youth Empowerment Fund.
So we are starting the article now; let’s take these questions gradually.
Is the National Youth Empowerment Fund program legit?
As gathered from sources including Dubawa, the said program is nothing but a lie. The complete information on the internet about this program has been said to be fake. You can surf the internet further to get more information on this. But be sure you are not surfing the wrong website in the long run.
Please do not stop reading here; we have prepared some other legit Nigerian empowerment programs for you to be aware of.

How to apply for the national youth empowerment fund?
Since we have confirmed that the site is not legit, we cannot say anything valid about how the application should be made.
For this reason, all other questions about this empowerment program should be overlooked.
Therefore, we have to consider other empowerment programs that can stand in for this, in case you want to know the legit Nigerian youth empowerment programs.
Top Nigerian Empowerment Programs
Below is a list of the top Nigerian empowerment programs you should learn about. The main list may not be restricted to this, but to maintain accuracy, we have decided to keep it this concisely.
1. School Feeding Empowerment
The school feeding empowerment program is one of the empowerment programs the Nigerian ruling government has implemented to get the attention of other countries. People home and abroad have commented that this program is indeed a smart move by the Federal Government of Nigeria.
Comments were also received from the United States of America on this program (to tell you how valid this is), specifically from the director of the WFP. He revealed that the country has put in place one of the ways to counter malnutrition among children, noting that providing a healthy school meal is one of the best ways to fight malnutrition among children.
This program does not seem to affect Nigerian youths in any way, so the government was not going to stop there, and neither will we in this piece.
It may sound easy, but looking into information gathered further, the program cost the Federal government of the country a fortune, and an estimation of what it will cost yearly was made through the hint of how many school students will have to benefit from it.
Brief Story of The School Feeding Empowerment
The Nigerian federal government established this educational empowerment program in 2016. The major objective of establishing a program like this is to end malnutrition among a number of younger citizens of the country, understanding that children will not pay attention to the things being taught in their classrooms unless their bellies are filled nutritiously.
If this program continues, the government has been said to be responsible for feeding about 9.8 million students across the country yearly. With the estimation, we also learned that the country has about 53,000 government schools.
Despite the importance of this program, it has no way of affecting the older Nigerian citizens who neither have children in school nor are students. So considering how irrelevant knowing about this legit empowerment program can be to you, we will look at the other program that can help you.
2. Presidential Youth Empowerment Scheme
Our site has written about this before, and you can go for the (most recent) previous article to read fully about this.
The P-YES is another empowerment program that the government has established for the betterment of the country since lack of employment is one big problem facing us.
P-YES was established by President Buhari’s administration, in 2020, at the Presidential Villa.
- Healthcare
Does your interest lie in redeeming people who are down and have no phobia of the sight of blood? Then attend this program to study medicine and pharmacy.
- Fashion & Beauty
Do not limit your thought to the fact that this program is meant for women alone.
If you like fashion, you don’t have to wander around other skills taught in the program. Some of these skills include Hair Dressing, Fabrics & Tailoring, Barbing, and Makeup.
- Technology Acquisition
Auto Mechanics, Car Wash, Tractor Assembly, Vulcanizing, and Welding are some skills you can learn under technology acquisition. I would advise you to go for those that cannot easily be known outside the program, like tractor assembly.
- Agriculture
The program will touch on most agricultural programs like Fumigation, Poultry Farming, Butchery, Fish Farming, and Rice Processing.
- Food & Beverages
You do not have to be a foodie to pick an interest in this skill – smiles. Learn confectionaries and catering at the empowerment program and earn a living with the knowledge anytime afterward.
Before registering for this program, you should keep some requirements:
- Age restriction (between 18-40)
- A minimum of O’Level certificate
- A citizen that has a means of identification as one
Please do not miss out on this program for any reason if you are eligible to participate in it.
3. N-Power
A few years ago, one of the empowerment programs that went viral in Nigeria was the N-Power program. Many have tested and can tell others to trust the program as well.
The validity of N-Power is to the extent that Wikipedia recognizes it.
A short story about the program?
This program was like others on our list, also established by the administration of the ruling president of Nigeria on June 8, 2016. Serving the same aim, we all already want it to fit, and this has also been in existence to help fight against the problem of securing jobs in Nigeria.
Specifically, Wikipedia noted that President Muhammadu Buhari founded the national social investment program.
N-Power thereby has its headquarters in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.
Objectives of N-Power
- Economic Development
One of the ways this program has been planned to affect the country is positive, by boosting the economy since the number of the working class will increase after empowerment.
- Tackling the problem of employment
When people are empowered, they should be able to enroll themselves in available jobs or stand on their own to get things done.
- Reducing crime rate
As intended, the country’s crime rate will drastically reduce with this initiative. Citizens thought to be terrorists because they have nothing to do should no longer have time for violence if they are empowered.
Remember that an idle hand is the devil’s workshop, as they say.
What is the Age Requirement for N-Power?
The age required is close to that of the P-YES’. N-Power requires an applicant between 18-35 to be eligible for the program.
How do you apply for the N-Power program?
Visit the N-Power website for registration or any other things that have to do with the program, navigating via http://npower.gov.ng/
4. Federal Government Survival Fund
Another real empowerment program in Nigeria is the FG government survival fund. Is the FG Survival Fund program legit? Who Founded it? Let’s quickly find answers to these questions.
Story of the FG Survival Fund
The Empowerment Scheme was said to have been headed by the Vice of the Nigerian president, Yemi Osinbajo. Meaning it is a legit empowerment platform as well.
But something happened regarding this program, sometimes not quite long, when the Federal had to warn people not to believe an announcement that the FG was disbursing N80,000 to people’s accounts.
The rumor mills as a result of the action of some internet fraudsters who attempt to carry out suspicious activities with people’s account details.
As gathered from sources, the said program has been established to help Nigerians out of the hard time the COVID-19 pandemic has caused everyone.
So the financial empowerment program is more like a program to compensate people for the loss the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown has resulted in.
Although this is valid, there is not much information about it at the time of this report.
