The notice explained that applicants must be between 18 and 35 years of age, possess a minimum of Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSCE), NECO or equivalent qualification, and be residents of Adamawa State.
It further stated that female participation is strongly encouraged as part of efforts to promote gender inclusion in the renewable energy industry.
