Conclusion
Introduction
The power sector is a capital and technology intensive sector
requiring large numbers of engineers, technicians and other
skilled workers.
Power projects require specialized technical manpower during
the project design and construction phase as well as in the
Operation and Maintenance (O&M) phase.
Due to the technology intensive nature of the sector, technical
and managerial competency is highly critical in ensuring timely
implementation of projects and optimum performance upon
commissioning.
This presentation addresses the key human resource challenges
in the power sector today and lays out strategies for attracting
fresh talent, retaining existing manpower and building capacity
for training and development.
3 NAPTIN
Preparing For Galloping Expansion In The Sector
An urgent Need to match skills with infrastructural expansion
2005 interventionist project of FGN (NIPP) was launched and the following were to
be added to the existing grid network to jumpstart power system infrastructure
growth:
• 10 x Generating Stations
• 27 x new grid connected transformer substations (330/132KV & 132/33KV): extension of
27 others
• 297 x Injection Sub-stations
• 23,000 x Distribution Sub-stations (33/0.415KV, 11/0.415KV)
• 5,000km of 330KV lines
• 1,600km of 132KV lines
• 1,700km of 33KV lines
• 2,700km of 11KV lines
In addition to this, several IPP licenses have been issued by NERC to would-be
GenCos (alone).
These will triple the existing manpower whose skills have to match its OM&A
(Operation, Maintenance and Admin)
4 NAPTIN
NAPTIN’s Challenges
Specialised skilled system operators for generation, distribution, and transmission are
urgently required.
Technical manpower required during the project design and construction phase of
various power projects as well as the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) phase.
Urgent need to augment the skills at PHCN and Successor Companies level to orient
them to suit the growing Power Sector needs.
Limited infrastructure/space and training equipment for capacity building compared
to the huge manpower to be trained
Overall, huge funding is required to meet up with scheduled training and re-training.
Presently, paucity of funds causing inability to undertake planned training activities
NAPTIN is still constrained by space as its current rented accommodation has greatly
restricted its training capacity
Major funding is also required for development of its permanent site

ABOUT NAPTIN
27
ESTABLISHMENT OF NAPTIN The Power Sector in Nigeria is currently undergoing a reformation by the
Government of Nigeria due to its inefficiencies and inability to provide the
power need for the country. This problems are largely caused by:
• Aging power assets
• Huge supply deficit (long period of generation capacity stagnation)
• Lack of adequately trained professionals and technically skilled
manpower in generation, transmission and distribution and also in the
areas of management, regulatory and policy framework
With the understanding of training deficiencies and its huge impact on the
power sector and recognizing the need for the massive and urgent training
requirement to put the Sector back on track, THE NATIONAL POWER
TRAINING INSTITUTE OF NIGERIA (NAPTIN) was established on
March 23, 2009, as an institute to required to provide and meet the training
needs of the Nigerian Power Sector and beyond.
NAPTIN commenced operations from a room on the 5th Floor of the PHCN
Plc.
NAPTIN was established as a legal entity on the 1st September, 2009 with
its incorporation as a public company limited by guarantee.
It currently has an ambitious plan of training a minimum of 25,000
personnel within 5 years of its establishment and operations
NAPTIN presently has Eight (8) Regional Training Centers (RTC) across
the country with its HQ office in Abuja
28
Vision
• "To be a Lead Centre of Excellence in Providing Training,
Sharing Knowledge, Conducting Research, and Providing

NGSDP PROGRAMME
71
The NGSDP is a one year internship training programme,
designed to equip graduates with interest in making a career in
the power sector with the relevant skills that would make them
relevant and effective players in the industry.
The programme will equip them within the one year with
requisite skills and practical know-how, required to make
them ready for engagement in the different fields and
professions of Generation, Transmission and Distribution
Sectors of the Electricity Industry.
The objective of this programme is to Provide and establish a
structured training process for the development of technical
manpower with requisite skills and competencies needed to
operate, manage and sustain the infrastructural expansion and
growth evolving within the Power Sector
NGSDP PROGRAMME
243 trainees but individual and State Government sponsored were admitted
for the programme in 2012, when it commenced.
175 of these trainees are Electrical Engineers who are have been given
practical hands-on training in various aspects of Distribution and
Transmission for the past one year.
46 of these Electrical Engineers have been engaged by Transmission
Company of Nigeria (TCN) in their recent recruitment and are being
deployed to start work immediately due to the technical know-how already
acquired during the NGSDP one year programme. This has saved TCN a
huge cost both in time and money that would have been spent on training
these engineers to get them ready.
TCN through the FGN has requested others who are also recruited but have
not undergone the one year NGSDP programme to be trained first by
NAPTIN before being deployed
It is envisage that the next batch of the NGSDP programme which will
commence in October 2013 will have over 800 in-take of trainees across
the country
IMPACT OF NGSDP PROGRAMME
No one as a player in the Nigerian Electricity Market can survive independently. We
all need to work together to realize the dream of lighting up Nigeria without a blink.
The one who GENERATES electricity depends on the one who TRANSMIT to
wheel the power and vice versa
The one who TRANSMIT electricity depends on the one who DISTRIBUTE to the
consumers and vice versa
The one who TRAINS MANPOWER for the Power Sector depends on all players in
the electricity business across Generation, Transmission & Distribution in order to
be able to train the right manpower that meets their needs and expectations.
NAPTIN will require the continued support of the new private owners of the
Distribution & Generation Companies just like the existing CEOs have been doing
in order to continually produce engineers that with adequate technical know-how of
Nigeria Distribution, Transmission and Generation System.
We all need to commit to a social responsibility of submitting to train engineers
within our network as that is the best way to raise engineers that can appreciate the
enormity of the challenges that exist and also get better acquainted with the
equipment and network in the power system
