Following the launch of the Presidential Mass Metering Initiative, MOMAS Electricity Meters Manufacturing Company (MEMMCOL) has announced plans to train over 300 unemployed youths on meter installation.
MEMMCOL Chairman, Kola Balogun, told reporters that the initiative was aimed at developing the country’s manpower capability as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
He noted that the trainees for the programme will be unemployed youths selected from the six geo-political zones.
He said that the training will begin at the MOMAS Metering School at the Momas Factory, Orimerunmu, Mowe, Ogun State, today.
Balogun said: “MOMAS, a key stakeholder in the downstream of the power sector, sees the initiative as a viable way to create employment opportunities for our youths and the timing is unprecedented given the fact that one of the complaints by the aggrieved youths doing the recent #EndSARS# protest is unemployment.
“MOMAS also identified that there is an urgent need to train more Nigerians on electricity meter installation to compliments the Presidential directive.
“This is our way of contributing our quota at ensuring that the initiative is successful. We have decided to train a selected number of graduates across all the six geo-political zones in the country on metering technology through our MOMAS metering school for free.”
