President Bola Tinubu has launched the POWER FORCE initiative as part of efforts to develop technical skills among young Nigerians and support improvements in the country's electricity sector.

According to the presidency, the programme is expected to train 5,000 young Nigerians while contributing to the acceleration of smart-meter deployment.

The initiative comes as electricity supply, metering and billing remain important issues for households and businesses across Nigeria. The programme places young people at the centre of efforts to expand the technical workforce needed for power-sector development.

The initiative also reflects the administration's emphasis on combining youth skills development with infrastructure programmes. Further details on implementation and participation will be important as the programme progresses.
