The National Poverty Eradication Programme (NAPEP) has officially opened its 2025 registration portal, inviting all qualified Nigerian citizens to apply. According to NAPEP officials, the programme is designed for the reduction of absolute poverty and aims to transform lives across the country through sustainable economic empowerment.
“This year’s focus is on training youths in vocational trades, supporting them with internship grants, and providing micro-credit to boost small businesses,” a NAPEP representative said on Tuesday. “We are also working to create employment opportunities in the automobile and other industries.”
The programme targets both rural and urban communities and is committed to social and economic development. NAPEP’s goal is to improve the material, cultural, social, and political wellbeing of all Nigerians, placing citizens at the center of national growth.
Who Can Apply?
To be eligible, applicants must be Nigerian by birth, have a valid National Identity Number (NIN), and be at least 18 years old.
