The Special Adviser to the Governor on Technical and Vocational Education, Prof. Joseph Odemuyiwa has urged technicians and artisans in the State to key into obtaining National Business and Technical Examination's (NABTEB) Modular Trade Certification for competency.

          Odemuyiwa made this known at a media parley in his office at Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, saying the certificates were meant for practising artisans in the informal sector for them to be viable and proficient in the society.

          He pointed out that Ogun State had produced not less than 5,000 trained and certified technicians and artisans in the last two years.

          According to him, "there is no way we will intervene in the education sector through the Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET), without relating with NABTEB, which is the examination body that is established for certification and competence of technicians, artisans all over Nigeria ".

          The Governor's aide hinted that the present administration had been working effortlessly in turning around Technical and Vocational Education in the State, reiterating government’s continuous drive towards boosting the capacity of the trainees.
