What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Kumasi, Oct. 07, GNA – Professor Kingsley Nyarko, Deputy Minister for Education, in charge of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), says TVET is the key to addressing the skills gap and graduate unemployment in the country.

According to him, TVET was the way to go, and commended President Akufo Addo’s government, for the huge investment in TVET institutions by providing them with essential infrastructure and support that enabled students to receive practical training, making them job-ready after graduating.

Prof. Nyarko, who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for Kwadaso, said this when he led a delegation from the Ministry of Education to pay a working visit to the Kumasi Technical University (KsTU) in Kumasi.

The visit, according to the MP, was to know first-hand the position, progress, problems and prospects of the University and ways to address their challenges for effective improvement.

The MP explained that, since 2017, the government had invested more than GHȻ6 billion in the TVET sector.
