Fresh rumours have surfaced online claiming that the Federal Government has reopened the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) application portal for the Renewed Hope Employment Initiative (RHEI) Phase Two. According to the circulating claims, the portal is said to be open with the application process ending on 2 September 2025.
However, there is no official announcement from the NDE confirming the reopening of the portal. Officials had earlier stated that shortlisted candidates would be announced soon, which makes the development uncertain.
Despite this, applicants are reporting that the sign-up page is currently accessible and allows registration for selected programmes. The portal is open, but we are not sure if these new submissions will be recognised as valid profiles.
In recent weeks, discussions about the NDE have focused more on the agency’s reported plan not to move its headquarters before December.
The accessibility of the portal could also mean that the NDE is quietly preparing to release its shortlist of candidates, and the registration page may have been left open in error.
For now, interested applicants can visit https://nderegistrationportal.ng to choose their preferred programme and fill out the application form. If the claims prove correct, the reopened portal will close by 2 September 2025.
Meanwhile, those who have already registered are advised to log in to their accounts, review their details carefully, and keep track of their application status while waiting for an official statement from the Federal Government.
