    N-Power program and youth empowerment in Nigeria
    (Cogent Social Sciences Volume 11, 2025 - Issue 1, 2025) Osimen Goddy U.; Etoroma Oghenemaro Miracle; Pokubo Ibiso; Adi Isaac
    The study assessed the impact of the N-Power program on youth empowerment in Lagos State, Nigeria. A cross sectional survey design was used to select the beneficiaries of the program, while both questionnaires and interviews were used as a source of data collection from the respondents. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. However, the key informant interview which were purposefully selected, were therefore analyzed by means of transcribing. Though the program has recorded a level of success in curbing unemployment and alleviating poverty in the study area, the study however revealed some challenges faced by the program, which include irregular payment of allowances, corruption among N-Power personnel, among others. The study therefore recommends among others, prompt and timely payment of stipends to the beneficiaries of the Program, as well as the posting of beneficiaries to their nearest place of residence.
