FG Presidential Metering Initiative 2026: Requirements And How To Apply

President Bola Tinubu's administration has launched the Presidential Metering Initiative, a programme designed to train 4,000 additional meter installers across Nigeria to help close the country's estimated 5-million-unit metering gap. Trainees will be trained by the National Power Training Institute of Nigeria (NAPTIN) and certified by the Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency (NEMSA), giving them a recognised professional credential in the power sector. The goal is simple: end estimated billing, create jobs, and put technical income-earning skills in the hands of young Nigerians. No prior experience is needed and the training is free. Application is 100% FREE.
