The Director of Communications and Development, West Africa
Theological Seminary, Pastor Oluwafemi Martins, while delivering a paper
at a forum of the alumni of the Yaba College of Technology on Sunday in
Lagos.
He stated that polytechnic education is the key to solving the nation’s unemployment crisis.
According
to Martins, an alumnus of YABATECH, polytechnic education had helped
many countries to resolve their unemployment challenges.
He
emphasized that if Nigeria is to make a breakthrough in the area of
creating employment, then it should give attention to technical
education and revives it.
He condemned the discrimination being
suffered by polytechnic graduates in the country, noting that they were
supposed to be the engine room of any nation’s economy.
He called
for the alumni of the nation’s polytechnics to come together to ensure
the growth of polytechnic education in the country.
“Operating
under one umbrella will enable them to set up a think-tank that will
regularly evaluate the national policy on education, advice government
and take pro-active steps in the formation of such policies.” He
asserted.
