Minister Alausa reports 250,000 Nigerians in TVET programme
Dr Tunji Alausa, the Minister of Education, informed the House of Representatives Committee on Federal Polytechnics and other Technical Education that around 250,000 Nigerians are participating in the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme. This initiative, a Federal Government scheme, aims to equip citizens with vocational skills and is operational in 1,200 centers nationwide.
During a meeting on Tuesday, the committee, chaired by Fuad Kayode Laguda, expressed the need for improved engagement with the Federal Ministry of Education to enhance legislative oversight, citing months of unanswered correspondences. The committee had previously summoned the minister in July and August for information regarding TVET.
In response, Alausa apologized, stating he had not personally received the correspondences. Following a closed-door meeting, Laguda described the discussions as progressive and purposeful, indicating a commitment to better future engagements.
