The Federal Government of Nigeria hereby announces the official opening of the registration portal for the National Poverty Eradication Programme (NPEP) 2025. This initiative forms a vital component of the government’s ongoing efforts to combat poverty and promote inclusive economic development across the country. Through the NPEP, thousands of Nigerians will gain access to job placements, entrepreneurship support, and livelihood-enhancing tools tailored to address the country’s most pressing socio-economic challenges. The programme is designed not only to provide short-term relief but also to foster long-term financial independence and resilience among citizens.

By focusing on empowerment rather than dependency, the NPEP will deliver structured interventions across a range of sectors. These interventions will include vocational training, startup grants, digital literacy programs, rural economic development initiatives, and support for micro-enterprises. The overarching goal is to create sustainable opportunities that reduce unemployment, increase household income, and ultimately lift millions of Nigerians out of poverty.
All eligible individuals are encouraged to take advantage of this timely opportunity by registering through the official portal. Participation in this programme could significantly improve the lives of individuals and communities by providing the necessary foundation for financial stability and growth. Interested candidates should carefully review the eligibility requirements and apply within the designated timeframe, as the programme is expected to benefit applicants on a rolling basis.
This is to inform interested candidates and the general public that the Federal Government has opened portal for registration into the National Poverty Eradication Programme 2025.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:
To be considered for enrollment in the National Poverty Eradication Programme (NPEP) 2025, applicants must satisfy a set of clearly defined eligibility requirements established to ensure the programme reaches the intended beneficiaries. These criteria are designed to guarantee transparency, inclusivity, and fairness in the selection and distribution process.
Nigerian Citizenship:
First and foremost, all applicants must be Nigerian citizens. This programme is exclusively designed to support citizens of Nigeria in alignment with national development priorities. Applicants may be required to provide evidence of citizenship, such as a government-issued ID or certificate of origin, during the registration or screening stage.
Age Requirement:
Eligible individuals must be between 18 and 65 years old at the time of application. This age range ensures that both young adults entering the workforce and older adults seeking financial empowerment or entrepreneurial opportunities are able to benefit from the programme’s offerings. Those outside this bracket will not be considered for participation.
Possession of National Identification Number (NIN):
All applicants must possess a valid National Identification Number (NIN). The NIN serves as a unique identifier for each participant, enabling the programme to maintain a secure, traceable, and efficient database. It also helps prevent duplication and fraud during the selection, disbursement, and monitoring phases of the programme.
Communication Skills:
Candidates are expected to demonstrate strong verbal and written communication abilities, which are essential for participation in many aspects of the programme—such as training sessions, entrepreneurship engagements, or business development opportunities. In some cases, applicants may undergo brief assessments to evaluate these skills during the screening process, especially for roles or interventions that require direct interaction with the public or program facilitators.
These criteria form the foundation of a robust and effective poverty eradication framework, ensuring that the benefits of the 2025 NPEP initiative are channeled toward capable and genuinely deserving Nigerian citizens.
