The Federal Ministry of Works has invited applications from interested and qualified Nigerians for its 2025 nationwide recruitment exercise aimed at engaging unemployed graduate engineers and skilled artisans across the country.

The ministry disclosed that the recruitment is part of its Capacity Building and On-Site Training Programme, an initiative of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda to strengthen national technical capacity, reduce youth unemployment and support the delivery of critical federal infrastructure projects.

According to the ministry, the programme targets unemployed youths in all Local Government Areas of the federation and is designed to provide hands-on training, mentorship and practical exposure in modern construction methods.

A statement from the ministry explained that successful applicants would be deployed to contractors handling Federal Ministry of Works projects within or close to their areas of residence, where they would undergo structured practical training and temporary engagement.

The recruitment covers the following categories: Graduate Mechanical Engineers, Carpenters, Masons, Steel Reinforcement Workers, Plumbers, Welding and Fabrication Workers, Surveying Assistants, Electrical Installation Workers and Heavy Equipment Operation Workers.

For the Graduate Mechanical Engineer category, applicants must be Nigerian citizens aged between 18 and 35 years, possess a degree or Higher National Diploma (HND) in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline from a recognised institution, and provide evidence of completion, exemption or exclusion from the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). Applicants must also be unemployed, computer literate and willing to participate fully in field-based training.

The ministry said artisans applying for other categories must be Nigerian citizens aged between 18 and 45 years, possess recognised vocational training or trade test certificates, or have verifiable practical experience. They must also be physically fit for construction-related field work and willing to undergo additional safety certification and supervised project attachment.

The programme objectives include equipping young engineers and artisans with hands-on experience, building a sustainable local talent pipeline for Nigeria’s infrastructure development, reducing youth unemployment through short-term structured engagement, and strengthening project delivery through trained local support personnel.

Features of the programme include temporary engagement with monthly stipends, field mentorship under registered engineers and certified supervisors, hands-on training at federal construction sites, provision of basic personal protective equipment (PPE), certification upon successful completion, and priority consideration for future government or contractor engagements.

Interested and qualified candidates are required to submit their applications via email to registryfmw@fmw.gov.ng, using the job title as the subject of the email.

The ministry stated that applications should include a curriculum vitae, academic credentials, NYSC certificate or exemption letter, passport photograph, valid means of identification and certificate of Local Government Area of origin.

It added that shortlisted candidates would be invited for verification and orientation, while noting that the deadline for submission of applications had not been specified.
