Ogun revitalises Technical Colleges to encourage entrepreneurial opportunities

The Ogun State Commissioner for Education, Science, and Technology, Prof. Abayomi Arigbabu, has said that the ongoing rehabilitation of technical colleges across the state is meant to revitalise Technical Colleges in order to encourage entrepreneurial opportunities, as well to attract more students to technical education.
He stated that the move would also enable them to compete favorably with their counterparts across the country and contribute significantly to closing the skills gap nationwide.
Prof. Arigbabu made this statement during the inspection of the ongoing rehabilitation of Government Technical Colleges at Idiaba and Isabo, Abeokuta, respectively.
Expressing satisfaction with the level and quality of work done so far, the Commissioner noted that the rehabilitation of the structures would, in no small measure, contribute to the learning skills of students.
He added that the upgraded facilities would enhance practical learning, foster creativity, and provide a conducive environment for academic excellence.
Prof. Arigbabu disclosed that the revamped technical colleges, apart from helping to attract more students to technical education, would also increase their employability and prepare them for entrepreneurial opportunities in various industries.
In an interview with some of the female students at the college, the Commissioner urged beneficiaries of the Ogun Girls TVET scholarship to make the best use of the opportunity.
His counterpart at the Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Investment, Hon. Adebola Sofela, commended the Ogun State Government for its foresight in prioritizing technical education.
He emphasized that the initiative aligns with the government’s vision of producing a skilled workforce capable of meeting the demands of both local and international markets.
Mr. Sofela further noted that the intervention would strengthen the link between education and industry, ensuring students are equipped with relevant skills for today’s dynamic economy.
The ongoing rehabilitation is part of OGSTEP’s commitment to improving the economic livelihoods of the people through strategic interventions in education and skills development.
