Abstract
Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) plays an instrumental role in the
technological advancement and economic sustainability of many nations. Despite its contributions,
Nigeria as a nation appears not to have given this aspect of education the attention it deserves.
This is viewed as one of the reasons for the nation’s underdevelopment. The paper focuses on the
current environment in which TVET in Nigeria operates, efforts government has taken to revitalise
it and lessons that can be learnt from countries that have achieved appreciable economic
development through TVET. The paper concludes that it is necessary M y for Nigeria to urgently
and aggressively embrace a credible and pragmatic approach to strengthen TVET delivery in the
country in order to achieve stable national economic development.
