There is this 15-year-old boy in my estate who just graduated with a NABTEB certificate from Government Technical College Ikorodu. He did JSS 1 - 3 in the usual secondary school then proceeded to the technical college to learn Block Laying, Bricklaying & Concreting.

He mentioned that there are other courses such as Fabrication & Welding, Electrical Installation & Maintenance Work, Furniture Design, Motor Vehicle Mechanics, Plumbing etc. In addition to these technical subjects, they are also taught the usual physics, Chemistry, and Maths for SSCE.

I kept wondering why the technical colleges aren't popular and why we aren't promoting scholarships for these colleges. What are we doing to engage graduates from these technical colleges and ensure they get jobs with their qualifications?

How do we legislate a process that pushes the employment of well-trained and qualified craftsmen from our technical colleges in different informal sectors especially construction?

Fighting corruption, uniting Nigeria and transformative governance is not Rocket Science - Obi

"In my take on corruption is if you and your family are not involved, you cut it by 70%, and you have to show an example and remain consistent.

Nostalgia

Can't you see vicious giants wearing

narcissistic pancakes on gory skins 

clogging the Niger coasts

with colossal granites of 

despair and blocking

crossroads to renaissance? 

Can't you hear loud wailing of

babes, juveniles in the
