Training milestone reached
The National Power Training Institute of Nigeria (Naptin) has announced the successful completion of training for its Stream 3 Power Metering Initiative (PMI) cohort. According to Nigeria Startup News, the trainees completed programmes designed to enhance technical skills within the country's electricity metering sector.
Naptin highlighted the practical experience gained by the participants. The institute expressed expectations that the newly trained professionals will contribute to the development of the domestic power industry.
Sector context and next steps
The graduation coincides with broader discussions surrounding federal plans to deploy 750,000 electricity meters by 2027. However, reporting indicates that the institute has not confirmed direct recruitment arrangements for the upcoming rollout.
Participation in future metering initiatives will depend on official directives from relevant industry authorities. For now, the milestone represents an expansion of technical expertise available to the Nigerian power sector as utilities and regulators address persistent metering gaps.
