Urgent: President Tinubu Engineering Mentorship (Deadline Today!)

This is a Red Alert gist because the deadline is listed as January 26, 2026 (Today!). The Federal Ministry of Works has announced the "President Tinubu Engineering Mentorship Program," a specialized capacity-building initiative targeting unemployed graduate engineers and skilled artisans across all 774 Local Government Areas in Nigeria.

The program is divided into two categories: Graduate Engineers (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical) and Skilled Artisans (Masons, Carpenters, Welders, Plumbers, etc.). Selected participants will undergo structured on-site training and field mentorship. The benefits are solid: participants will receive monthly stipends, safety equipment, and certification upon completion. It is a direct move by the government to bridge the skills gap in the infrastructure sector.

If you are an engineer or a skilled tradesperson, you need to move fast. The requirements include being a Nigerian citizen (18-35 years for engineers, 18-45 for artisans) and currently unemployed. Applications are submitted via the Ministry’s official email registry as detailed in the link. This is a rare opportunity to get federal certification and "priority consideration" for future government contracts or jobs.
