ROAD MAP TO:
VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL SKILLS EDUCATION
INTRODUCTION
In Nigeria today, the Increasing rate of poverty, unemployment, corruption and so many other social problems had become worrisome to the government and to every well meaning citizen. The Incidence of poverty in Nigeria is on the high side {about 70% of the total population has been classified as poor {Nigerian Entrepreneurship Initiative, 2009; ewhrudjakpor, 2008}. The problem of unemployment is particularly pathetic as the number of those coming out from various institutions looking for employment opportunity is increasing day by day.
Unfortunately, Nigeria has not been able to enact similar feats owing to poor linkage between knowledge and development and between the private and public sector of the economy. This may have been due to lack of appropriate skills and sufficient entrepreneurial culture in the educational system.
NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ON VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL SKILLS EDUCATION.
Development Generally means the improvement in people's lifestyle through improved education, incomes, skills, development and employment. For National Development to take place, people must get a good education that improves all aspects their lives. Stiglitz in Ezra {2008} asserts that "Development is the transformation of society, a movement from traditional relations, traditional ways of thinking, traditional methods of productions to more modern ways". Development is determined by how countries are able to leap frog stage of economic growth by being able to modernize their production system and increase their competitiveness faster than in the past.
Vocational Education Programme {Vocational Skills} should be incorporated into our educational programmes and this should be collaborated with Entrepreneurship Education Programme. At every level {Primary, Secondary, and Tetiary} of our educational system, students should be made to offer at least one Vocational Course from the areas of technical education: {Motor Mechanic, plumbing, painting and decorations, welding, furniture makings e.t.c}; Business Education: {Typing, accounting, marketing e.t.c}; Home Economic: {Child Development, food and nutrition, catering, hair dressing, tailoring e.t.c}; Agricultural Education: {Agric Production, agric mechanization, horticulture e.t.c}, Automobile Tech: {Electric Mobility, manufacturing tech, vehicle maintainance e.t.c}, Electrical & Electronics Tech: {Motor Control, computer programming, digital electronics e.t.c}, Building Tech: {Wall Framing, floors, and ceiling finishing, construction drawing e.t.c} Wood Work Tech: {Customising workspace, wood architectural technology e.t.c} Along with the vocational courses, a course in entrepreneurship education should include: Business Plan, organizing and selecting the legal form of operation, inventory control/operations managements, accounting/financial management, record keeping, financial analysis, {Cash Flow, planning profit}; location, human resources management and marketing plan. The depth {extent} of teaching this course will depend on the level at which it is provided, be it at primary, secondary or tertiary.
It is pertinent to note that education can be a means to an end. It can simply be a tool for securing employment and emancipation of people through the provision and acquiring of necessary knowledge and skills to make lives more flourishing. One practical strategy towards reducing rate of unemployment and eradicating poverty is by scaling up investment in infrastructure and human capital. Human capital development is further faciliated through a well structured academic curriculum that is entrepreneurial focused. A nation with increased numbers of self sustained and self dependent graduates will less numbers of unemployed graduates.

Human capital development is further faciliated through a well structured academic curriculum that is entrepreneurial focused. A nation with increased numbers of self sustained and self dependent graduates will less numbers of unemployed graduates.
Education particularly, an entrepreneurial focused tertiary education therefore plays a very vital role in the development of economy of any nation because the more the number of young graduates that are able to be self dependent and self employed the more the poverty and unemployment is eradicated and the faster the nation moves towards self sufficiency. The development of the economy and the crave for self reliance and self sustainability is the driving force of any nation. Technical and Vocational Education is understood to be:
■An integral part of General education.
■A means of preparing for occupational fields and for effective participation in the world of work.
■An aspect of life long learning and preparation for responsible citizenship.
■An instrument for promoting environmentally sound and sustainable development.
■A method of alleviating poverty. {Obanya, 2005}
CONCLUSION:
●Government and private sectors should increases massive investment in VTE in order to ensure diversification through the creation of more functioning technical industries. If industries were created to process our raw materials such as crude oil, cocoa, rubber, coal and many others locally, the hope for economic recovery is not farfetched. More so, there will be more employment opportunities and people will be able overcome the plague of poverty which has hitherto resulted in other problems in the country.
●There is need for the development of renewable energy sources to cope with the inadequate power supply in the country. This is addition to a comprehensive development of Vocational trainees Centre and infrastructure which will act as a stimulus for economic development.
●Government as a matter of urgent need to embark on aggressive maintenance and proper equipment of all the government owned technical and Technology colleges and institutions nationwide, and even creation of least one vocation and technical school or institute in each state of the federation. This will in turn produce in to the society more graduates with vocational and technical skills, which will see Nigeria in the near future turn into a producing economy rather than being a consuming economy, thereby cautioning the effect of recession in the near future.
●The government should come out with clear cut policy on what is the role of technical and Vocational institutions in terms of human capital development.
●Government should make available incentives such as provisions of affordable loan or credit facilities and tax reliefs to all companies who are engaged primarily in vocation and technical trainings, as a way of encouraging those who are presently in the industry and also as a way of encouraging others who are skeptical.

It is indeed a "take and go" affairs. Simpliciter?
However, the ballot 🗳 box 🗃 is still as relevant as the "bullet box" in the dislogement of sit-tight rulers from political power, and usurpation of same by the new conqueror. As far as these people are concerned nothing is good unless it comes from them are times!
