Speaking on the concerns of rising electrical accidents in Nigeria, Mr Nagode said, “We were with NERC recently and NERC is equally concerned because of the level of accidents.”
He said NERC is working to ensure that operators of the private-led power firms adopted NAPTIN safety syllabus for training.
Another collaboration of the institute with NERC, the power sector regulator, is on metering which Nagode said NAPTIN was enabled to ensure the training of all meter installers.
The DG said NAPTIN trains power sector workers and fresh electrical and mechanical engineering graduates under the National Graduate Skills Development Programme (NGSDP).
