Nigeria RHEI Phase 3 employment drive

Entities: National Directorate of Employment · Renewed Hope Employment Initiative · Bola Ahmed Tinubu · Dr Muhammed Dingyadi · Fagbemi Joshua Sunday

Overview

The National Directorate of Employment (NDE) launched an online portal on 23 July 2026 to register participants for the third phase of the Renewed Hope Employment Initiative (RHEI III) in Yobe State, targeting 26,961 unemployed Nigerians, especially women, youths aged 18‑35, and persons with disabilities across all 17 local government areas. Training will cover agriculture, entrepreneurship, ICT, technical and vocational skills, and public‑works projects as part of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

Three days later, the NDE confirmed that registration was free and nationwide, clarifying eligibility for citizens aged 18‑45 and encouraging applications from persons with disabilities. In Plateau State, the NDE coordinator pledged equitable selection from every council ward across the state’s 17 LGAs.

On 30 July, the portal closed at 4:00 p.m. after a one‑day extension to address minor technical disruptions. Director‑General Silas Agara announced that the NDE would now collate, verify, and assess applications, selecting successful candidates according to programme guidelines and notifying them through official channels. He thanked applicants for the overwhelming response and emphasized a transparent, merit‑based selection process while warning against misinformation and undue influence.
