This study assessed the impact of N-Power programme on the employability and income generation among its beneficiaries in Yobe State. Specifically, the study gives emphasis to the employability, income generating capacity as well as entrepreneurial skill acquisition of the beneficiaries of N-Power programme in the State, with focus on three sampled local government areas viz: Bade, Geidam and Yunusari. Primary data was collected from the sampled 230 beneficiaries in the three local government areas on the basis of which analysis was conducted. Based on the findings of the study we conclude that majority of the beneficiaries are male between the age of 26 and 35 who are graduates, majority of whom got information about the programme through the media and community leaders. Most of them are engaged in N-Power Teach and a number of them have not received their full allowances for some months. Moreover, N-Power programme enhanced the income generating capacity of most of the beneficiaries and majority of them considered the current monthly remuneration of N30,000 sufficient. In addition, a number of them owned businesses after their engagement in N-Power programme, an indication that the programme enhances their entrepreneurial skills.
