The fulcrum of economic development is a sustainable supply of electricity. Nigeria is plagued with blackouts, with one of the lowest per capita electricity consumption in the world (circa. 120 kWh per capita). Hence, policies have been instigated to integrate electricity generation from nuclear power plants (NPP) on or before 2027. However, a critical requirement for NPP generation is the implementation of robust human resource development (HRD) programs. This paper presents the perspective of Nigeria in assessing human resources needs over the entire NPP lifecycle following the milestone approach and employing the IAEA's Nuclear Power Human Resource (NPHR) modeling tool. Three workforce organizations are in focus including the owner/operator, regulators, and construction workers following three decades timeframe (2015–2045). The results indicate that for the study period, a maximum of approximately 9045 personnel (73% construction workers, 24% owner/operator, and 3% regulators) should be directly involved in the NPP program just before the commissioning of the third NPP in 2033. However, this number decreases by about 73% (2465 personnel including 94% operator and 6% regulator) at the end of the study timeframe. The results can potentially provide clarity and guidance in HRD decision-making programs.

经济发展的支点是电力的可持续供应。尼日利亚深受停电困扰，是世界上人均用电量最低的国家之一（人均约 120 千瓦时）。因此，已制定政策在 2027 年或之前整合核电厂 (NPP) 的发电。然而，核电厂发电的一个关键要求是实施强有力的人力资源开发 (HRD) 计划。本文介绍了尼日利亚在评估整个核电厂生命周期内的人力资源需求方面的观点，该需求采用里程碑方法并采用 IAEA 的核电人力资源（NPHR）建模工具。在三个十年的时间框架（2015-2045 年）之后，三个劳动力组织成为焦点，包括业主/运营商、监管机构和建筑工人。结果表明，在研究期间，就在 2033 年第三座核电厂投产之前，最多应有大约 9045 名人员（73% 的建筑工人、24% 的业主/运营商和 3% 的监管人员）直接参与核电厂计划. 然而，在研究时间框架结束时，这个数字减少了约 73%（2465 名人员，包括 94% 的操作员和 6% 的监管员）。结果可能为 HRD 决策计划提供清晰和指导。在研究时间框架结束时，这一数字减少了约 73%（2465 名人员，包括 94% 的操作员和 6% 的监管人员）。结果可能为 HRD 决策计划提供清晰和指导。在研究时间框架结束时，这一数字减少了约 73%（2465 名人员，包括 94% 的操作员和 6% 的监管人员）。结果可能为 HRD 决策计划提供清晰和指导。
