Yes there is hope for Technicians in Nigeria if only they can be more creative, innovative and have seal to excel. I was baffled exactly 3yrs ago i visited China, Honkong and Taiwan searching for machines for my factory in Nigeria.

Anytime i visit those places i always learn new things. I needed to buy automatic biscuit making machine and vegetable oil complete line, when i visited the factory that charged me over 10mill to get these machines, i was surprised that they hardly speak English and what they produce many people from different countries order the products.

I asked the design and production Engineer about what he studied..he laughed and told me he is not an Engineer but technician and he does not attend any university but learn Welding and design from his boss whom happened to be uneducated like himself but there products are worldwide. Likewise almost 50 guys working there are not Engineer but technicians.

Before i purchased the machines, i sent my manager the pics and asked to confirm from Nigerian local technicians if the price can be cheaper or to reduce the stress of importing parts. Actually they sent me Vegetable oil production machine but i can not compare in terms of look, technicalities or performance even is more cheaper.

So Creativity, innovation and research.....

Yea... Over here in Nigeria, there are no favourable conditions for such.
How many technical schools are well equiped? There's a lot to do in nigeria with regards technical education...
