Nigeria is offering a free solar installation training programme in collaboration with Siemens, according to multiple outlets. The programme is designed to provide practical, hands-on experience in solar PV installation and related work, with an emphasis on enabling participants to gain recognized professional credentials.
Both reports say the training includes COREN certification and targets people such as graduates and technicians, aiming to support entry or progression in renewable energy careers. The Legit.ng outlet also specifies that the programme locations include Lagos and Abeokuta, and frames it as an opportunity to build practical skills that can translate into career opportunities in the sector. The Punch similarly describes the application process and highlights the free nature of the training and the certification component.
While the two sources align on the core details—Siemens involvement, free training, hands-on instruction, COREN certification, and the focus on graduates and technicians—coverage differs in the level of location detail, with Legit.ng naming Lagos and Abeokuta more explicitly.
