PRESIDENT TINUBU LAUNCHES POWER FORCE TO TRAIN 5,000 YOUNG NIGERIANS, ACCELERATE SMART METER ROLLOUT

…Initiative to create jobs, expand metering access, and strengthen power sector reforms under the Renewed Hope Agenda

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has launched Power Force, a new national initiative that will train 5,000 young Nigerians to support the accelerated deployment of smart electricity meters across the country, create employment opportunities, and strengthen ongoing power sector reforms.

The programme, implemented through the Presidential Metering Initiative (PMI), a federation led initiative with the Federal Ministry of Youth Development, is a practical intervention designed to close critical skills gaps in meter installation while expanding opportunities for young Nigerians to participate directly in national development.

Power Force forms part of the administration’s broader effort to improve the performance and financial sustainability of the electricity sector. Expanded metering will help reduce estimated billing, improve transparency in customer charges, strengthen revenue collection, and support better service delivery over time.

The initiative also advances President Tinubu’s commitment to job creation and youth empowerment by equipping participants with practical technical skills, recognised certification, and pathways to employment and entrepreneurship within the power value chain.

The first phase of the programme will commence in Abuja in July 2026, with subsequent rollout across the six geopolitical zones.

Participants will undergo intensive technical training delivered by the National Power Training Institute of Nigeria (NAPTIN), while certification and compliance standards will be overseen by the Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency (NEMSA). Successful trainees will be connected to deployment opportunities with distribution companies, meter providers, and other industry partners

Speaking on the initiative, Chairman Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq said, “Power Force is a federation initiative that connects opportunity with impact, creating jobs for young Nigerians while strengthening electricity access in every state.”

The Honourable Minister of Power, Honourable Joseph Tegbe, said “A stronger power sector begins with skilled people. Power Force invests in Nigerian talent to power our nations future”

The Honourable Minister of Youth Development, Honourable Ayodele Olawande, said the programme reflects the administration’s commitment to creating practical opportunities for young Nigerians.

“Young Nigerians want opportunity, not handouts. Power Force gives them practical skills, recognised certification, and a direct pathway to meaningful work that supports national development.”

According to the Executive Secretary PMI, Mrs. Olu Arowolo Verheijen, “Metering restores trust. When customers pay only for what they use, revenues improve, investment follows, and service gets better. Power Force helps us scale that progress faster.”

Applications for the first cohort will open on 4 July 2026 and remains open for two weeks.

My attention has been drawn to some media reports following my brief appearance earlier this morning on Channels TV regarding the ongoing reforms of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), particularly on the issue of the proposed uniform.

For the avoidance of doubt, yes, I mentioned Adire during the discussion. I also mentioned Ankara. My intention was simply to cite examples of some of the proposals that have been put forward in the course of our consultations. It was not an announcement that any particular fabric has been adopted or approved to replace the current NYSC uniform.

For the record, what we are considering are different options that tick all the right boxes in terms of professional outlook, a unique national identity, durability, functionality, cost-effectiveness, and the projection of national pride. No final decision has been taken on the fabric or design.

As with every aspect of the ongoing NYSC reforms, any eventual decision will be guided by extensive stakeholder engagement and what best serves the interests of the Scheme and the nation.

I respectfully urge Nigerians to continue to engage with the ongoing NYSC reform conversation based on its broader objectives and the immense benefits it holds for our young people and our country. The reforms are designed to make the Scheme more relevant to today's realities by improving employability, promoting entrepreneurship, strengthening national integration, enhancing service delivery, and creating a smoother transition from education to productive careers.

While conversations around the uniform are understandable, they should not overshadow the far-reaching reforms aimed at empowering millions of Nigerian youths and positioning the NYSC as a stronger platform for national development.

I appreciate the constructive feedback and assure Nigerians that every proposal will continue to be carefully considered in the best interest of the nation.

Which TVET?
He can only say this because he knows Nigeria are not well informed and this is because they do now want to be.

Do you know that technical schools are free?

My Vision for a Productive and Prosperous Nigeria

Today, being the 1st of July, 2026, I wish to humbly recall that when I decided to contest for the office of President of Nigeria, I pledged to place Nigeria on the path of unity and national transformation. Now, as the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, I will, in the coming weeks and months, provide insights into the roadmap that I am confident will help curb abuse in government, halt the decline in the quality of life of Nigerians at all levels, and usher in an era of unity, peace, sustained progress, and prosperity.

This vision is anchored on a commitment to unity, inclusion, social justice, equity, and the freedom of every citizen to pursue lawful dreams.

Central to this proposed roadmap are significant reforms in education and healthcare, which are at the core of human capital development.

Robust human capital is indispensable infrastructure for national progress. It serves as the fundamental capital upon which daily life, economic expansion, and the delivery of essential public services depend.

These are foundational areas that we must reform with energy and determination if we are to reap the demographic dividend of our youthful population.

From the outset of my presidency, we will establish a task force dedicated to drastically reducing the menace of out-of-school children. We will place greater emphasis on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to support our drive for massive industrialisation, anchored on our agricultural endowments and value addition across value chains organised around industrial parks to be located in development zones across the geopolitical regions of the country.

Funding and improving the equipment of TVET institutions, through partnerships among government, the private sector, and social entrepreneurs such as faith-based educators, will facilitate apprenticeship opportunities in the private sector, similar to the German dual education system.

The situation in which unemployment remains high while Nigerian entrepreneurs establish businesses elsewhere because skilled labour is scarce must be confronted decisively. Doing so is essential for the common good and for facilitating our transition from a consumption-driven economy to a production-driven one.

Character and civic education, emphasising the values that foster trust - an essential ingredient for enterprise and leadership - as well as shared national values, will receive significant attention within the tripartite approach to governance that we propose.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@PeterObi TVET????

You're late sir... Tinubu already made it free...

Pick another thing ✌️😎

[Taiye @OlusogaMary]

@Poet_Temi Don't mind them.

Later, they would say they did not see it

[Taiye @OlusogaMary]

We were all here when someone said the people following the president's x page are foolish.

They approved a policy , now you are crying.

Meanwhile the firm was shared on the presidency page.

We will all learn the hard way

Rufai Oseni does not speak like a journalist. He is always speaking like he is giving his own opinion meanwhile his opinions are often without fact

[Taiye @OlusogaMary]

Say na 2 billion the minimum

Okay o

[Gbotemi @confindence24]

Today I finally realized that Rufai Oseni seems to dislike anything Tinubu.

While he was mocking the akara business, Dr. Abati reminded him that it was a metaphor, and even Okpe supported the First Lady's initiative.

Ire oo.

[MAYOR KACHALLA @MayorOfNasarawa]

Have you heard what is happening inside Tinubu's Presidency?

Are you even aware that someone is publicly claiming he paid ₦600 million just to be appointed to head a federal agency?

No, this is not a movie.

According to Prince Adeyemi, he paid ₦400 million upfront and was expected to pay another ₦200 million later.

But that's not even the biggest part of the story.

He says the real trouble started when he refused to part with 48 percent of a ₦24 billion take-off grant meant for the agency he was appointed to head.

Now, before anyone jumps to conclusions, these are his allegations. The Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, has denied any connection with the agency altogether.

And that is exactly where this story becomes unbelievable.

The Chief of Staff says the agency does not exist.

Prince Adeyemi says it does.

Not only that, he says it has over ₦1 billion in the Appropriation Act, over 300 approved staff by the head of service of the federation, and even accounts with the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Now tell me...

If the agency does not exist, who inserted its budget into the Appropriation Act?

Who approved over 300 staff?

Who processed the files?

Who opened the accounts?

Or are all these claims completely fabricated?

On the other hand, if the agency truly exists, then why is the Presidency denying its existence?

Can you see why this matter cannot simply be dismissed?

Somebody is not telling Nigerians the truth.

Personally, I am less interested in the drama than in the documents.

Produce the appointment letter.

Produce the budget.

Produce the payroll.

Produce the CBN records.

Produce the evidence of the alleged payments, if they exist.

Let Nigerians see who is lying.

Because if a man can wake up one morning and falsely accuse the Chief of Staff to the President of collecting ₦600 million and demanding a share of ₦24 billion, then that is a national scandal.

And if he is telling the truth...

Then that is an even bigger national scandal.

Either way, this matter deserves much more than a press statement.

Nigerians deserve answers.

[Taiye @OlusogaMary]

I don't even have an issue with the Akara or kuli kuli. My issue is with the billion billion she is calling.
Where did she see it?

[Taiye @OlusogaMary]

As you are criticizing the government.
Pls and pls, also provide your own solution alongside.
The solution, how it would help and the feasibility.

Thank you.

[Taiye @OlusogaMary]

Thank God he is not running for another position

They would have said it is for politics

Even peter obi supporters will say they are intelligent.
People that cannot disagree with fact.
People that cannot fact check.

If people's political affiliation is the measure for intelligence, then you are an olodo too.

[Taiye @OlusogaMary]

[Taiye @OlusogaMary]

As I am seeing that olodo uprising, it is irritating to me.

" Ara ita n wo lawo sunkun, o n wo ara lawo rerin"

[Taiye @OlusogaMary]

You see what peller did in that video where he kept quiet when he didn't know what to say.

Ehn, many of you should learn it on this app
