The National Directorate of Employment (NDE) has begun approving applicants for its Renewed Hope Employment Initiative (RHEI) Phase III, with some candidates seeing “APPLICATION STATUS: APPROVED” on the registration portal.
Screenshots shared by applicants show approved statuses after they entered their application codes. This indicates that some applications have progressed, but the images do not establish how many candidates have been approved or whether approvals are complete nationwide.
Applicants are advised to wait until their dashboard changes from “PENDING” to “APPROVED” before visiting their state NDE office for verification and document submission. Guidance circulating among applicants says approvals are handled from Abuja, while state offices conduct subsequent verification. Applicants should follow direct instructions from NDE.
Successful candidates should monitor their registered email and phone number for further communication, including possible WhatsApp group invitations.
Applicants are also advised not to enter bank details until the portal or NDE requests them. The reported stipend is ₦10,000 for one-month training, while three-month schemes, including Special Public Works (SPW) and Vocational Skills Development (VSD), are reported to attract ₦30,000 after training. Confirm these payment details with NDE before treating them as official policy.
