The National Directorate of Employment (NDE) has launched the second phase of its Renewed Hope Employment Initiative (RHEI), aiming to tackle youth unemployment and equip Nigerians with practical vocational and digital skills.
Speaking at the unveiling of a new digital registration platform in Abuja on Monday, NDE Director-General, Mr. Silas Agara, announced that the entire process for Phase Two would be conducted online.

According to Agara, this move is designed to ensure fairness and reach more Nigerians across the country.
“After the success of Phase One, we have enhanced our infrastructure to make Phase Two fully digital,” Agara said.
“We have deployed robust hardware, software, and internet connectivity to all 37 states, including the FCT, to ensure seamless operations.”
FG set 18 as minimum age
To register, applicants must be between the ages of 18 and 45, possess a valid National Identification Number (NIN), and reside in any of Nigeria’s states or the Federal Capital Territory, regardless of their state of origin.
Agara explained that successful candidates would receive training in over 30 different vocational and digital skills carefully selected to match each state’s economic priorities.
“What’s relevant in Abia may differ from Adamawa, so we have customized training to maximize local opportunities,” he noted.
The registration portal opened on July 28 and will remain active until August 11, 2025. Processing of applications is scheduled to take place between August 12 and August 22. Agara was clear that there would be no extension to these dates.
He also issued a warning to the public about potential fraudsters who might try to exploit the process.
“No payment is required to participate,” Agara stated.
“Any suspicious activity should be reported to our headquarters or state offices. We have job centres in all 37 states, including the FCT.”
By transitioning to an entirely digital system, the NDE hopes to create a smoother, more accessible process for applicants nationwide and ensure that opportunities reach those who need them most.
