PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu has renewed the appointment of Professor Idris Bugaje as the Executive Secretary of the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) for a second and final term of five years.

n

Professor Bugaje was appointed as Executive Secretary of NBTE on March 14, 2021, for an initial term of five years.

n

President Tinubu renewed the appointment following a careful review of his performance, leadership record, and the significant transformation in the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) sub-sector under his stewardship.

n

Some of the achievements the NBTE recorded, in line with the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda for education, include: the strategic repositioning and strengthening of Nigeria’s TVET ecosystem; comprehensive curriculum modernisation; and the development and review of 100 national curricula in line with global skills demands.

n

The President urged the NBTE Executive Secretary to use his second term to consolidate ongoing reforms and complete the critical initiatives already underway.
