Speaking at the inauguration of new training workshops and a hostel facility at the National Power Training Institute of Nigeria (NAPTIN), Adelabu declared that the country is steadily advancing toward energy sustainability under President Bola Tinubu\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn no time, we are going to witness a country where there is 24\/7 uninterrupted power supply. This is possible and we have certainly seen the signs,\u201d the Minister stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He highlighted that the government has already begun delivering improved power to universities, teaching hospitals, primary health centers, and communities, emphasizing that reliable electricity is essential for driving growth in education, health, aviation, and other key sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further stressed Nigeria\u2019s growing self-reliance in the power sector, noting, \u201cWe have what it takes to start manufacturing our own meters, cables, transformers, transmission transformers and batteries. We have the brain. We have the people. We must be self-reliant and sustainable, and we are very close to achieving this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new NAPTIN facilities, which include five training workshops and a 104-room hostel, are designed to develop a skilled workforce capable of supporting the evolving energy landscape and fostering job creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NAPTIN Director-General Ahmed Nagode described the projects as \u201ca foundation for a brighter future,\u201d revealing plans for a Next Generation Rescue Programme to train young leaders in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project received significant international backing. EU Ambassador to Nigeria Gautier Mignot disclosed that the bloc provided \u20ac8 million in funding and helped develop 95 technical and non-technical courses for NAPTIN.
