The Federal Government has announced a monthly stipend of N45,000 for students enrolled in technical colleges nationwide, in a major policy shift aimed at revamping technical and vocational education.
Executive Secretary of the National Board for Technical Education, NBTE, Prof. Idris Bugaje, disclosed this during a media interview in Abuja, marking the second anniversary of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
According to Bugaje, the monthly grant is one of several incentives under a sweeping strategy to make TVET a viable and appealing alternative to conventional university education.
