Abstract: Let $GsimeqMtimesC$ be an $n$-generator group with $M$ Abelian and $C$ cyclic. We study the Nielsen equivalence classes and T-systems of generating $n$-tuples of $G$. The subgroup $M$ can be turned into a finitely generated faithful module over a suitable quotient $R$ of the integral group ring of $C$. When $C$ is infinite, we show that the Nielsen equivalence classes of the generating $n$-tuples of $G$ correspond bijectively to the orbits of unimodular rows in $M^{n-1}$ under the action of a subgroup of $G{L}_{n-1}(R)$. Making no assumption on the cardinality of $C$, we exhibit a complete invariant of Nielsen equivalence in the case $MsimeqR$. As an application, we classify Nielsen equivalence classes and T-systems of soluble Baumslag-Solitar groups, lamplighter groups and split metacyclic groups.
