<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Federal Government had, last week, announced that the recruitment of the teachers would commence on Sunday, directing interested Nigerians to apply through <a href="http://portal.npower.gov.ng./" rel="noopener" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">http://portal.npower.gov.ng.</a></span></div>
