Ask Atiku Abubakar — Official Citizen Engagement Platform

What is your plan for technical and vocational education?

I will declare a state of emergency in technical and vocational education, expanding skills training centres and aligning them with what industry actually needs. I will also provide student financing support so young Nigerians can access this training. This will work alongside integrating vocational training into secondary education, giving students multiple pathways for learning and employment.
