The Federal Ministry of Education has reiterated its commitment to strengthening vocational and technical colleges across the country as part of efforts to boost skills development and youth employability.

In a statement released on Thursday in Abuja, the ministry noted that vocational and technical education remains a critical tool for national development, especially in bridging the gap between education and industry needs.

According to the release, government is working on policies and partnerships to modernize technical colleges, upgrade facilities, and ensure students acquire relevant 21st-century skills.
