Secondary schools as the breeding ground for future professionals have a responsibility to provide robust career guidance. In the journey of education, secondary schools play a pivotal role in shaping the future of students. Understanding the significance of these formative years, secondary schools in Nigeria are not merely institutions for academic learning but serve as crucial influencers in helping students make fulfilling career choices.
