ABUJA, NIGERIA – July 13, 2026
In a significant move to address the persistent issue of estimated billing and accelerate efforts to close the national metering gap, the Presidential Metering Initiative has officially opened applications for its Meter Installer Training Programme. This initiative, championed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, aims to train an additional 5,000 certified meter installers, empowering young Nigerians and revolutionizing electricity access across the nation.
The current deficit of approximately 7 million meters nationwide is largely due to an insufficient pool of certified installers. To rapidly bridge this gap within the next two years, the administration is investing in a comprehensive training program designed to equip young Nigerians with the necessary technical skills.
Participants in the programme will receive training from the esteemed National Power Training Institute of Nigeria (NAPTIN) and will be certified by the Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency (NEMSA). This certification will not only expand the national installer pool but also unlock meaningful income opportunities, fostering sustainable livelihoods and greater financial independence for the trainees as they contribute to large-scale meter deployment.
This initiative offers a unique opportunity for young Nigerians to gain valuable technical skills required for installing smart electricity meters nationwide. By becoming certified professionals, they will play a crucial role in ending estimated billing and ensuring fair and accurate electricity consumption measurements for all citizens.
Eligibility Requirements:
Must be a Nigerian citizen between the ages of 18 and 35 years.
Must possess a science background and have completed a minimum of SSCE or equivalent.
Open to members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and students of Technical and Vocational institutions.
Applicants must ensure their National Identification Number (NIN) is correct, as an incorrect NIN will lead to disqualification.
Must be physically and mentally fit for the envisaged task requirements.
Willingness to learn and work within the power sector is essential.
No prior experience is required, as comprehensive training will be provided.
Interested and eligible young Nigerians are encouraged to seize this chance to secure a stable future and contribute to a vital national development goal. The application deadline is July 18, 2026.
