Good day sir, please I received a confirmation mail from Npower but after then no information from them, I really want a recent update on the npower programme, since 1st of august is the kick off date, I belief by now we should know where we stand. Prompt response will be appreciated. God bless you.
Comment:good morning. I see in writing that: the starting date of the program is August 1, 2016. but most of the applicants received the aknowledgement reciept. dont you (the selection committee) think about time factor. thanks.
My questions is why must be there be age limit? It should be open to whoever is willing to make a difference. I think the age should be extended to like 50, especially, for the build programme. In fact, age should not be part of the criteria. It should the willingness to learn and practice.
please let there be no age limit hence age is a number not interest or commitment, thank you from austin
