N- Power portal not hacked, over 1million has applied - FG

The federal government on Sunday has debunked reports that the N-Power portal had been hacked. Rather, the government said the portal was not only secured but also that it had not been compromised in any way.

This was as it also disclosed that more than one million applications were received from intending N-Power enrollees across the country in less than 48 hours.

The Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development,  in a statement, Sunday night, through its Deputy Director Information, Rhoda Iliya, said, “Over 1,000,000 applications have been received from across the Federation in less than 48 hours  after the Honourable Minister, Sadiya Umar Farouq declared open the new N-Power Portal on the Ministry’s website.”

The Ministry wishes to reiterate that all young Nigerians between the ages of 18-35 with or without formal education can apply for a slot in the new program which would be very focused on agriculture.
