Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) In Nigeria and Energy Development, Marketing and National Transformation

Abstract

Education is considered by many as an agent of human development, social mobility and socio-economic development of any society. However, it is arguable that the type and quality of education a nation offers to its citizens is a function of the level of progression of that nation.  In this context, technical and vocational education and training (TVET) has been recognized as the wide-diversified education system instrumental in making the remarkable contribution to economic growth of a country by a way of suitable manpower production relevant to the needs of industry, society and changing technological work environment. This paper explores the TVET situation for Nigeria for its transformation agenda with highlights on such factors as trends on TVET policies for human resource development, capacity building, energy development and professional marketing in the national transformation agenda.
