The Npower Agro stream recruits graduates into agricultural extension work, and shortlisted applicants sit an online assessment before selection. It is a recruitment test rather than an academic exam, so preparing for it works differently from preparing for WAEC or JAMB.
This page explains what the 2026/2027 assessment covers and how to get ready for it.
What the assessment tests
Expect a mix of general aptitude and subject awareness. Numerical reasoning, verbal reasoning and basic current affairs appear alongside questions on agricultural practice, extension services and rural development.
The agricultural questions are usually general rather than technical, aimed at confirming you understand the sector you are applying to work in.
Why old question sets circulate
Collections of Npower questions are shared widely online, but they come with a caveat worth taking seriously. The assessment has been restructured between batches, and material from an earlier cycle may not reflect what you will actually face.
Treat them as practice for the style of question rather than a reliable guide to content, and never pay for a set that promises the real questions.
How to prepare sensibly
- Practise timed aptitude questions, since pace matters more than difficulty here.
- Read up on current agricultural policy and the role of extension officers.
- Follow recent national news, which general knowledge sections tend to draw on.
- Test your device and connection in advance if you are sitting it remotely.
Have your documents ready
Shortlisted applicants are usually asked to present credentials at short notice. Keep your degree certificate, NYSC discharge certificate, a valid means of identification and your BVN details organised before the assessment rather than scrambling afterwards.
Watch for recruitment scams
Npower does not charge applicants at any stage. Anyone asking for payment to guarantee shortlisting, supply questions in advance or secure a slot is running a scam, and they are common around every batch.
Use the official portal
Confirm every date, requirement and shortlist announcement on the official Npower portal at npower.gov.ng rather than through social media posts, which frequently carry outdated or invented information.
Start with timed aptitude practice
Work through a set of numerical and verbal reasoning questions against a clock this week. That single habit tends to make more difference to a recruitment test score than any amount of subject reading.
