Eligible applicants submit their applications through the official Power Force application channel for the relevant cohort.
Applicants are screened and selected for participation according to the requirements and capacity of the relevant training cohort.
Selected participants receive practical smart-meter installation training delivered by the National Power Training Institute of Nigeria (NAPTIN).
Participants who meet the applicable requirements proceed through certification and compliance processes overseen by the Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency (NEMSA).
Successful trainees are connected to potential deployment opportunities with electricity distribution companies, meter providers and other participating industry partners.
Key figures from official programme reporting, shown with their reporting dates and evidence basis so that scale is not confused with independently measured impact.
The official programme launch establishes Power Force as a workforce-development intervention intended to train young Nigerians in smart-meter installation, provide recognised technical certification and connect successful trainees with deployment opportunities in the electricity-metering value chain. The programme is also intended to support the wider expansion of smart-meter deployment. At the September 2026 verification point, the official sources reviewed establish the programme's launch, target and delivery structure but do not provide a verified national total for trainees who have completed training, received certification or secured deployment.
The sources reviewed establish the programme's official design, target, training partners and rollout plan, but do not yet provide independent evidence of the number of participants trained, certified or deployed, nor of the programme's measurable effect on Nigeria's metering deficit, youth employment or electricity-sector performance.

What the Record Establishes
Clear answers about the programme, eligibility, delivery, application process and how to access support safely.
PMI Power Force is a national workforce-development initiative under the Presidential Metering Initiative (PMI) designed to train young Nigerians in smart electricity meter installation, support recognised certification and create pathways to deployment in the electricity-metering value chain.
The programme is aimed at young Nigerians seeking technical skills and opportunities in electricity meter installation and the wider power-sector value chain. The specific eligibility requirements depend on the relevant programme cohort.
Use the official Presidential Metering Initiative website or the designated NAPTIN Power Force application channel when a cohort is open. Do not rely on unofficial agents or third-party registration links.
Selected participants receive practical technical training in smart electricity meter installation through the National Power Training Institute of Nigeria (NAPTIN).
Participants who meet the applicable requirements proceed through certification and compliance processes, after which successful trainees may be connected to deployment opportunities with electricity distribution companies, meter providers and other participating industry partners.
The programme's launch statement assigns certification and compliance oversight to the Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency (NEMSA). NEMSA is legally responsible for technical inspection, testing and certification within Nigeria's electricity supply industry.
No automatic job guarantee is established by the programme information reviewed. The official framework says successful trainees will be connected to deployment opportunities with distribution companies, meter providers and other industry partners.
