Federal Government Recruitment 2026: Tinubu Unveils 5,000 Power Force Jobs for Youth

Jobs for our young people remain central to our Renewed Hope Agenda.

Through the Presidential Metering Initiative, which I established to close Nigeria’s metering gap, end estimated billing, protect consumers, and strengthen the electricity market, we are opening a new pathway for 5,000 young Nigerians to be trained as meter installers and technicians under The Power Force.

This programme is about jobs, skills, and dignity.

It will equip young Nigerians with practical technical skills and connect them to real work in a sector that touches every home, every business, and every community in our country.

The opportunity will be open to eligible Nigerians who have completed their secondary school education, with a dedicated quota reserved for members of the National Youth Service Corps.

Metering is also central to making power more available to Nigerians.

When homes and businesses are properly metered, Nigerians can pay for what they actually use. When electricity distribution companies collect revenues more transparently and fairly, they are better able to reduce losses, maintain infrastructure, expand connections, and invest in better service.

This is how we build a power sector that is fairer to consumers, stronger for investors, and better able to deliver reliable electricity to the Nigerian people.

I have directed the Presidential Metering Initiative to work with the Federal Ministry of Youth Development, NAPTIN, and all relevant stakeholders to commence this programme within the next 30 days.

I encourage eligible young Nigerians to apply.

Join The Power Force. Learn a skill. Earn with dignity. Help us end estimated billing and be part of the work to light up Nigeria.
