STEPHEN GBADAMOSI, IBADAN

The Federal Ministry of Education has launched a one-year strategic ministerial intervention to recruit technical facilitators for Federal Technical Colleges nationwide, reinforcing reforms to reposition Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).

The initiative aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and aims to bridge Nigeria’s critical skills gap by engaging qualified, industry-oriented professionals to deliver modern, competency-based training.

Director, Press and Public Relations of the ministry, Folasade Boriowo, in a statement on Wednesday, said the ministry stated that the recruitment drive sought experienced technical experts with strong pedagogical capacity to strengthen both practical and theoretical instruction across federal technical colleges.

She said the intervention formed part of broader reforms to enhance the quality, relevance, and responsiveness of technical education to evolving labour market demands.

“Interested applicants are required to complete the official online application form via the ministry’s designated portal.

“All submissions will undergo a transparent, rigorous, and merit-based evaluation process. Submission does not guarantee selection.

“The application portal will close at 11:59 pm on Monday, 16 March 2026.

“The ministry has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening federal technical colleges as centres of excellence for skills development, innovation, and workforce readiness,” she added.
