The federal government has opened a portal for former N-power beneficiaries to apply for Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Empowerment Options.
Developed in collaboration with the CBN, the platform  would enable exited N-power beneficiaries to log on and apply for the various economic, empowerment and entrepreneurship options provided by the CBN.
In a statement issued by the permanent secretary of the ministry, Bashir Alkali on Friday, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Farouq, encouraged interested exited beneficiaries of N-power to log on to the portal and provide the required additional information for possible placements into the various CBN intervention options.

According to the minister, the NEXIT PORTAL will determine the suitability of the beneficiaries for the CBN affiliated programs.

She expressed appreciation to the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, for his support, adding that the ministry remained committed to the vision of President Muhammadu Buhari to lift 100 million Nigerians out of poverty in the next 10 years.

“The NEXIT portal is to determine the suitability of the beneficiaries for the CBN affiliated programs and is dependent on meeting the criteria and conditions set by the CBN for the said programmes.

The federal government is very proud of the milestones you have achieved during your period of service to the nation.

“As we prepare to exit into prospective endeavours, we are confident that you will be able to channel all you have learnt over the years into successful ventures that will improve the economy of the country and create further opportunities for you and other citizens.

“Chasing a dream requires effort, passion and hard work which you are now halfway through.

I congratulate you and wish you a very successful future,” the minister said in the statement.
