he Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) has a d v i s e d t h e F e d e r a l T

Government of Nigeria to revamp the nation's Technical and Vocational Education system to address the ever rising rate of unemployment in the country. The Group stated this in its latest policy brief titled: Addressing Unemployment in Nigeria: A Case for Revamping Voca t iona l Technical Education”. W h i l e a n a l y z i n g t h e u n e m p l o y m e n t a n d underemployment rate in the country which stood at 18.8 per cent and 21.2 per cent respectively in the third quarter of 2017, the group noted that Nigeria lacks optimal VTE system that provides adequate training skills that fit for productive work, adding that the existing institutions of learning where VTE is taught do not focus o n p r o s p e c t i v e s k i l l s f o r employment.

NESG Makes Case for VTE to Address Unemployment in NigeriaThe group stressed that in the face of technological and industrial innovation; national strategy for vocational and technical education would further deepen globalization and improve social and economic development. The report added that investing in vocational and technical education enhances the skills of a country's human resource and creates youth employment.The Nigerian Economic Summit Group which is an independent, non-partisan organization which is committed to fostering open and continuous dialogue on Nigeria's economic development posits that the consequence of the faulty TVE system in the country include i n c r e a s e i n n o n - g r a d u a t e unemployment and a large pool of graduates that spend more time in the labour market searching for jobs.The group therefore wants Nigerian government to revamp its TVE system to accommodate a larger

number of the unemployed youth.In their view, there is the need for the development of a national roadmap for vocational and technical training that addresses the skills and capability challenges across all sectors in Nigeria; establishment of a National Vocational and Technical Training Act to replace the National Board for Technical Education Act, which accord ing to them main ly documents the establishment of the Board but fails to identify some imperatives corresponding to access, equity, quali ty and relevance of vocational education and training with the labour market; redesigning national vocational and technical training school to accommodate the unschooled and school dropouts; and matching up of firm based and school-based vocational and technical training programmes, designed after the German Vocational Education Training system.

the national economy.The representative of Ogun State C h a m b e r o f C o m m e r c e (OGUNCCIMA) and member Ogun State Technical and Vocational Education Board, Mr. Jare Oyesola advocated the adoption of dual vocational training model for sharing of industry resources and equipment for training by schools. He said industries will benefit more if they form dual vocational training which he also said will enable the NSQ work better. He enjoined operators of the private sector to support students in technical colleges through sponsorship and provision of equipment for training. In his contribution, the Registrar of

COREN, Engr. W.K Maliki FNSE, said the Council was making efforts to internationalize its degrees and diplomas to ensure that Nigerian Engineering graduates can work anywhere in the world and gave the assurance that COREN is totally in support of the NSQF.

hopeful, stating that 'there is light at the end of the tunnel'. Speaking on the topic “Institutional Sustainability and Innovation', the pioneer President of Association of Proprietors of Innovation and Vocational Enterprise Institutions (APIVI), Mrs. Shakirat Oriyomi identified some of the challenges facing the operation of IEIs to include; progression route, poor enrolment, high attrition rate, poor fee payment and inability to attract and retain best brains.Mrs. Oriyomi said these problems rather call for the operators to be highly innovative to set their goals right. She said that operators should think of what they can do for themselves for sustainability, stressing that they should look inward rather than elsewhere for solutions to their problems.

intensive training for industry partners, technical/vocational instructors and other stakeholders for the successful implementation o f t h e N i g e r i a n S k i l l s Qualifications (NSQs) assessment and certification.The three-week training which was held at the Digital Bridge Institute, Oshodi, Lagos, aimed at equipping stakeholders with requisite training a n d p r o v i d e a s y s t e m o f instructions that would ensure that all stakeholders have a shared understanding of the activities that needed to be undertaken.The training was also aimed at helping stakeholders gain up-to-date nat ional ly recognized qualification that will provide confidence in their ability to carry out the job role they operate at all levels, advancement within a company with the feeling of personal achievement as well as enable businesses move ahead.The NBTE Desk Officer on Nigerian Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) , Engr. Suleiman Yusuf who stated that the Board will oversee the delivery of NSQF and ensure quality for the formal and non-formal sectors said the training was interactive and featured lectures, individual and group activities and simulation so as to acquaint assessors and quality assurance managers with the needed knowledge for a successful project. 'We are spearheading the training of the quality assurance managers that will support the delivery of NSQF. The categorization is that we will have a centre where we will have assessors and internal quality assurance managers' he said.According to him, 'there is also the external quality assurance manager who comes from the awarding

body because in a skill delivery, it is not the same person that delivers the training that gives out the certificate. It is another external assessor that will come to quality assure and check what has been done and to be sure that due process was followed before they award the qualification'.The desk officer further stated that after the training, all trainees will go to the field within a period of six to eight weeks to practice what they have done and cover the units, adding that while on the field, they will report to NBTE what they have been able to achieve with the required facility they are going to practice on.

Engr. Suleiman further stated that trainees will be attached to a lead assessor and internal verifier who will be responsible for the day-to-d a y d e v e l o p m e n t o f t h e i r programmes. He added that through t h e e v a l u a t i o n o f t h e trainees/learners, they would be able to appreciate the concept which will add value to them and improve their assessment system.The Unit Head of NSQF, Rev. Canon Timothy Ighodaro who described the NSQF as very important said quality is a transformative process which brings back new ways of doing things based on job performance.

He added that the framework is divided into six levels where each has entry qualifications with minimum skills acquisition before one can be admitted.Rev. Ighodaro who described the NSQF as a continuous learning process said, that necessitated the g e n e r a t i o n o f a N a t i o n a l Occupation Standard (NOS) by the NBTE and other stakeholders in order to ensure that trainees go to

the training centres to demonstrate skill and understanding before being certified as competent.The NSQF Unit Head who expressed hope that the Nigerian society will accept the initiative and depart from old ways of doing things said if Nigerian economy is to grow, there is need to go back to the NSQF.Also, the NSQF Deputy Director of the Board, Mr. Olabode Majiyagbe said that the essence of the concept was to give Nigerians value for their money through work-based training where trainees will be assessed on the job based on the standard at every level.

He further stated that the NBTE as a regulatory body gives approval to the awarding bodies and also coordinates the training centres. He noted that those being trained are the workforce that will help guide the entire framework.In a remark, the chief executive officer of Empower Learning Development, UK, Dr. Adunni Akindude described the training as extensive and in-depth of what quality assurance is cutting across different sectors.She noted that there was need to train people who will in turn train others in-line with the requirement and demands of employers.

The first phase of the programme was held in August 2015 for Directors of Academic Planning and Examination Officers of Nigerian Polytechnics. The two-day train-the-trainer workshop was organized by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) in collaboration with the Anti-Corruption Academy of Nigeria (ACAN), Keffi, Nasarawa State.In his opening address, the NBTE Executive Secretary, Dr. Masa'udu Adamu Kazaure said that the workshop was designed to improve the integrity in examination administration and records with the view to stamping out corruption in the various TVET institutions.He noted that the choice of the theme 'Advancement of the Human Capital in the Polytechnics and other allied institutions' will strengthen the belief in the Nigerian projects and disabuse people's mind on the state of the human capital and manpower needs and academic standards in the TVET institutions.The Executive Secretary who r e c a l l e d s o m e r e p o r t s o n examination malpractices as reported by some officers and students in the polytechnics and similar tertiary institutions said the matters were handled by the management of the Board and ACTU as those involved were appropriately handled.'Today, I want to categorically state that the collaboration between the two bodies will yield inestimable value in strengthening characters and stakeholders in the areas of

A school based workshop on integrity be organized for staff & students; Curriculum be reviewed as at when due; A comprehensive

code of ethics brochure on integrity be developed by the NBTE for polytechnics and other allied institutions; The NBTE should insist on the creation of the guidance and councilors units in all institutions under her purview; Training should be periodically carried out to update staff and students' integrity profile; There is need to go underground in actualizing the fight against corruption in all TVET institutions; and Issues of records update and security through e-storage should immediately entrench.
