Federal Government Power Force Programme (PMI)
The Federal Government of Nigeria, under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is accelerating efforts to close the country’s metering gap.
- Nigeria currently faces an estimated 5 million meter deficit, with only about 1,000 certified meter installers available nationwide—far too few to meet demand.
To address this critical challenge, the government is scaling up capacity by training an additional 5,000 young Nigerians as professional meter installers and technicians.
- This initiative is part of the Presidential Metering Initiative (PMI), implemented through the Power Force Programme, designed to equip youths with practical, in-demand technical skills while creating employment opportunities.
About The Programe
The Power Force Programme is a strategic national initiative aimed at building a skilled workforce capable of supporting large-scale electricity meter deployment across Nigeria.
- Selected participants will undergo structured technical training facilitated by the National Power Training Institute of Nigeria (NAPTIN) and will be officially certified by the Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency (NEMSA).
- This programme not only addresses a national infrastructure gap but also creates sustainable income opportunities for Nigerian youths.
What You Will Gain
Participants in the programme will benefit from:
- Hands-on technical training in meter installation and maintenance
- Industry-recognized certification from NEMSA
- Exposure to real-world field operations
- Opportunities for employment and income generation
- The chance to contribute to a national development project
Why This Matters
Estimated billing has long been a major concern for electricity consumers in Nigeria. By expanding the pool of trained meter installers, the government aims to:
- Improve transparency in electricity billing
- Ensure fair and accurate energy charges
- Strengthen the power sector infrastructure
- Create jobs and empower Nigerian youths
