Academia, industry partnership can drive change — Yabatech

He highlighted how these alliances were crucial in producing graduates who are ready to meet industry demands.

“YABATECH is bridging the gap between academia and industry.

“The gown is going to the town to ensure our graduates are fit for the industry. We thank God for the actualisation of our vision to create a robust industrial alliance that enhances student training.”

The Rector revealed that YABATECH’s commitment to industry readiness extended beyond Nigeria. “We have sent 25 students to China for an 18-month training program in automobile engineering. “Our efforts are aimed at bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skills, ensuring our graduates are globally competitive.”

Deputy Zonal Director of the National Board for Technical Education, Dr John Onyebuchi, urged the graduates to continue honing their skills.
