Any prospective applicant, who has any challenge with uploading supporting documents unto the portal because of the size of the files, should attach these documents in a mail transmitted to: support@npower.gov.ng

After the application portal closes, there will be a verification, testing and selection process before successful applicants are enlisted in phases as the specific programme design may necessitate. The Federal Government will publicize the selection criteria before the application process comes to a close. Modalities relating to the enlistment process will no longer commence on August 1, 2016 as earlier envisaged due to the demand for extension by many Nigerians and our State collaborators.
