ABUJA – In a major policy shift aimed at revitalising Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), the federal government has announced a monthly stipend of N45,000 for students enrolled in technical colleges nationwide.
The Executive Secretary of the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), Idris Bugaje, revealed the initiative on Tuesday in Abuja during an event marking the second year of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Bugaje said the stipend is part of a comprehensive effort to reposition the TVET sector as a viable and attractive alternative to traditional university education. He noted that the policy is designed to boost enrolment and accelerate development at the sub-tertiary level.
