“I am very optimistic that the Governor Sheriff Oborevwori-led government will consolidate on it as there is still much to be done to improve academic activities across the technical colleges.

“I must also commend state government’s desire to ensure that at least one technical college is established in each of the 25 local government areas of the state.

“As a Ministry, I encourage you to place your priorities right, while the Committee will give all the necessary support for you to succeed”, Emetulu said

The lawmakers stressed that the idea of technical education is to correct the errors of so much focus on theoretical knowledge and strengthen the technical know-how amongst the younger generation.
