The Chief Executive Officer, NABTEB , Prof. (Mrs) Ifeoma Isiugo-Abanihe, said, “The Federal, State and Local Governments should give priority to technical vocational education training as the bedrock for sustainable development and an instrument for fighting poverty, unemployment and youth restiveness.”
According to her, such initiative requires massive investments and mobilisation of the entire citizenry, institutions and corporate bodies using all available medium and instruments.
She added, “Federal and State Governments should establish more Federal Science and Technical Colleges and Government Technical Colleges, respectively, especially where there is a need as urged by the National Council on Education.
