Presidential Metering Initiative - Meter
Installer Training

Meter Installer and Electrical House Wiring training for 5,000 Nigerian Youths

To end estimated billing, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is accelerating efforts to close the metering gap. The current certified meter installer pool is insufficient to address the estimated 7 million metering gap across the country. To bridge this gap and support the closure of the metering deficit within the next two years, the administration is training an additional 5,000 installers. Young Nigerians will be trained by National Power Training Institute of Nigeria and certified by Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency to expand the national installer pool and unlock meaningful income opportunities for the trainees as they support large-scale meter deployment across the country.

WHY JOIN THE INITIATIVE?

Be part of Nigeria’s power sector transformation. Gain the technical skills required to install smart electricity meters nationwide and become a certified professional. Unlock the potential to earn income, build a sustainable income, and achieve greater financial independence while contributing to closing the country’s metering gap and end estimated billing.

Is meter installation now a road side hustle?

They’ll pretend they want to train you to become a meter installer but in reality they employ you to be 20k data boy..

Chai. What happens to the PHCH staff in charge of installing metre ? Will they sell metres commercially to private individuals and businesses without PHCN involvement after this ? Chai ! Na wa o

How Would You Justify The Following Extravagant Spendings Under Tinubu's Government:

1. 21 Billion Naira To Renovate The Vice President House. No like they bought new kidneys or anything...for a house already functional. Done with public funds.

2. 70 Billion Naira To The National Assembly Members To Buy SUVs At The Cost 160 Million Naira Per One For Senators And House Of Representatives Members Specifically. To buy silence is every expensive.

3. 4 Billion Naira To Renovate Dodan Barrack Lagos Another 3 Billion Naira To Renovate Aguda House

4. 5 Billion Naira Was Given To Presidential Tax Reforms Committee Of Less Than Twenty People Headed By Taiwo Oyedele With Nothing To Show For It

6. 1.5 Billion Naira To Purchase Cars For Your Wife Senator Oluremi Tinubu Despite The Fact That First Lady Office Is Not Recognised By Our Constitution. Public funds they will later come around and claim they donated.

7. 300% Salary Increase For The Judges Which Was Speedily Passed By The Insensitive And Irresponsible Senators. The law has been bought.

8. 5 Billion Naira Was Budgeted For Presidential Fleet Of Cars For President Bola Ahmad Tinubu. I mean for someone who already has over 40 cars following him already.

9. 5 Billion equally budgeted for Presidential Yatch. The commonwealth is now a personal wealth.

10. 225 Billion naira spent on so-called Presidential Jet Festus Keyamo compensated.

11. 90 Billion naira spent on 2024 Hajj pilgrimage . Religion is a personal business. This is extravagant and irrelevant.

12. Billions of Naira Was Budgeted For Trips Including The Vice President Kashim Shettima To The Detriment Of The Citizens

13. Every Senator Is Paid 21 Million Naira Monthly

14. House Of Representatives Are Earning 13.5 Million Monthly All The Increment Was Done By Tinubu's Government

15. 15 Trillion Naira Lagos Calabar Coastal Road Was Awarded Illegally To Tinubu's Friend A Lebanese Gilbert Chagoury Who Was Repatriated Back To His Country By The Former President Obasanjo. I mean "awarded." No bids.

16. Billions lavished to lobbyist to romance against the Christian genocide.

17. How about the crazy number of ministers doing nothing?

18. N36Billion used shamelessly to Repaint the International Conference Centre...

Nigeria is a rich country. But ruled by the worst.

Argue with yourself.

Useless scam government.

Flangelo12:

Answer the damn question! Stop beating around the bush. Is meter installation not exclusively for PHCN staff?

Any time I see "initiative" as this, my stomach churns in anger.

Nigerian government no really rate the youth o. See what a whole "presidency" has reduced us to? When you hear the salary now, you'll realize that POS business is more profitable than it.

Some unfortunate youths will still come online to defend this nonsense. People wey don exchange their future for 30K.

How much dem go pay before and after the training

DeltaBachelor:

That's the modus operandi of a corrupt and scam government. They want to train youths on meter installation but PHCN workers have the monopoly to install meters. So how's that going to be possible for the youths to install meters when they finish the training?

That's how you know Tinubu's supporters have nothing upstairs. When you expose their folly, they switch to another angle. They can't answer questions because there's nothing up there.

You sound like one steeped in it.

Dumb APC supporters. They can't answer simple questions. Is meter installation not exclusively for PHCN staff or not? Someone is here saying trash.

Flangelo12:

Like Gbaja and Tinubu who are always hunting for sounds rather than facts and truth. Are you Seyi son?

Very welcome development. Interested youths should apply asap.
