The Senate Committee on Employment, Labour and Productivity have advised the Federal Government to collapse the popular Need for Power Empowerment Programme also known as N-Power under the National Directorate of Employment scheme (NDE).
Former Chairman of the Committee, Senator Suleiman Nazif (PDP Bauchi North) told the stakeholders in the Labour sector at a sitting held in the National Assembly that the decision to collapse the programme under NDE would make it more impactful.
The Senator said that for the Federal Government to succeed with the N-Power programme, the programme must be domiciled under the Ministry of Labour to be specifically driven by the National Directorate of Employment (NDE).
He stated that the NDE has the required platforms and structures across the 36 states of the federation and 774 local government council areas of the federation to carry out the empowerment programmes more effectively and impactfully.
He said: “Empowering Nigerians through social intervention programmes by any government is highly commendable but the required success of such a programme lies on anchoring them on solid structures which NDE has, and not elitist structures anchored on laptops being presently used.
