How will you improve technical and vocational education so young Nigerians are ready for real jobs?
I hear what employers are saying, and I mean to fix it directly. My administration will overhaul TVET curricula with industry leaders so what you learn matches real job requirements. We'll establish modern vocational training hubs across all geopolitical zones, launch dual-apprenticeship programmes, and standardize national skill certifications. I'll declare a state of emergency in technical and vocational education, expanding skills centres and integrating vocational training into secondary schools, giving you real, practical pathways into employment, not just paper qualifications.
