Abstract
Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in Nigeria aims to assist the federal and state education authorities in their effort to revitalize, reform and expand the provision of skills, vocations, science and technology to meet the nation’s present and future socio-economic needs. While the set goals in the National Policy blueprint are specifically meant to achieve the objectives of TVET, any form of defect recorded while formulating the blueprint will automatically affect goal achievement. For this reason, the researcher in this paper objectively critiques the provisions in the National Policy on TVET in Nigeria by identifying the relevance and feasibility of the policy objectives, strengths and weaknesses of the policy, loopholes, and problem areas of the government policy on TVET in Nigeria. It is therefore recommended that adequate resources should be allocated to technical and vocational education. Inadequate funds affect the provision of essentials such as well – equipped laboratories and workshops, relevant textbooks and training manuals.
