The Federal Government says it will pay Nigerians to acquire skills from technical and vocational schools.

According to the Minister of Education Tunji Alausa, the move is part of the government’s resolve to diversify the economy and address the lack of vocational skills in Nigeria.

“You go to the UK, or the US today, a plumber earns more than a doctor. If an electrician in England earns more than a doctor, so what are you talking about here?” the minister quizzed when he was featured on Tuesday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today.

“So, we want to now bring this pool of workers back. So what we’re doing with technical and vocational education is that we’ve laid out a four-step approach here.

“We would pay students to go to those schools. We’ve modeled how much we’re going to pay them when we roll the programme out. We’ll be announcing that. we’ll pay them to go to school. That’s step one.”

Amazing

Will it be sustainable? That's the big question

Equipments are the problem for these kind of programs. Another is manpower.
It's not the payment that is the issue.

Look at Introductory Technology in the Junior Secondary School, it was meant to achieve the same thing that the Hon Minister is saying. That program failed for the same reason.

Talk is cheap, a white elephant project, and an avenue for looting. The average Nigerian politician is a criminal.

This is very, very; VERY, VERY beautiful.

Hopefully, the government will be able to translate wishes, thoughts, and words to productive and meaningful actions.

All FG policies are all backward

Turn all our polytechnic to vocational schools and teach purely employable skills.

Skills build societies.

While at it, ban all those stupid courses like anatomy and all what not.


Our educational system needs total overhaul

Hope they will allow the proposed incentive program to hold and be effective?

That is better than paying ppl who claim to be repentant terrorist

No plumber or electrician earns more than a doctor oooo. Minister, no dey disgrace your family ooooo. Truly artisans earns well, but not more than doctors. Don’t be unfortunate in life Minister, an Omoluabi should not be saying this nonsense even under influence of cannabis. Abi you want make Ogun kee your Mama ni?

FG to, FG will...

Certainly not this federal government.
The Technical Centers have to be equipped Up to Standard before admitting Students.

Nice initiative

Wow! This is good initiatives!
