The Ekiti Governor bemoaned the quality of Nigerian graduate engineers.
The Federal Government has said it has begun the recruitment of 500 qualified engineers for the effective running of the nation’s 10 new power plants.
Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti made this known to State House correspondents after a meeting of the Board of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) presided over by Vice President Namadi Sambo in Abuja on Friday.
Mr. Fayemi, who is also a member of the board, said the exercise was meant to address the critical challenge of lack of skilled manpower in the nation’s power sector. He said that lack of skilled manpower was threatening the smooth take off and operations of the new power plants built across the country.
”We also looked at the National Power Training Institute (NAPTI), all of these plants are coming on stream and we are excited about them.
