Power Force Initiative to Train 5,000 Nigerians for Smart Meter Deployment

Power Force Initiative to Train 5,000 Nigerians for Smart Meter Deployment

NASENI Executive Vice Chairman Khalil Halilu has welcomed the launch of the Federal Government’s Power Force initiative, saying it could support electricity access and youth employment. The programme is designed to train 5,000 young Nigerians in technical skills for the deployment of smart electricity meters nationwide. It forms part of the administration’s wider power-sector reform plans. Halilu said expanding local technical capacity and indigenous manufacturing would be important for energy security, industrialisation and long-term job creation.

What kind of technical skills will the 5,000 trainees learn, and how quickly can that training translate into actual smart meter deployment?

I agree, the value of the initiative will depend on practical training and how well it connects trainees to real deployment work.

Linking electricity access with youth employment makes this initiative broader than a standard training programme. The practical outcome will matter most.

Training is welcome, but the announcement should not be treated as success before the trained participants are actually deployed and supported.

Clear selection criteria, hands-on training, certification, and a route into deployment work would give the programme a stronger chance of lasting impact.
