The Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) has launched a youth training program aimed at boosting Nigeria’s power sector.
According to Steve Muyiwa, technical adviser to the managing director on transmission, the programme seeks to create an unprecedented scenario where young engineers from all geo-political zones in Nigeria can receive rigorous training and exposure to the engineering environment of the company.
“NDPHC is trying to create an unprecedented scenario where we take young engineers from across all the geo-political zones of our country after some rigorous training and the objective is to do an internship programme which will expose them to the engineering environment of the company,” he said.
“If you look at the power sector today in Nigeria, talking about capacity of engineers, we have a lot of competent people and the issue of the power sector is not about competency of people managing power sector, but is more to do with infrastructure and funding of the sector”
Established in 2005, the NDPHC’s primary objective is to serve as a vehicle for the implementation of the Nigerian government’s power sector reform program.
The company was established to address the electricity supply deficit in Nigeria, particularly in the Niger Delta region, which is the hub of the country’s oil and gas industry.
NDPHC is responsible for the planning, designing, and construction of new power plants and transmission infrastructure in the country.
