N-MEP Programme Application
Who is N-MEP For?
N-MEP is designed for women and youth aged 18 to 45 who are ready to own and operate a manufacturing enterprise.

- Can confirm the availability of relevant raw materials in your state or LGA
- Are prepared to complete all five stages of the N-MEP pipeline, including two weeks at the RMRDC facility in Abuja
