Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) has strengthened efforts to bridge Nigeria’s technical skills gap by equipping over 50 Nigerians with practical skills in compressed natural gas (CNG), vehicle welding and fibreglass technology.
The college recently graduated more than 50 trainees from its TETFund Centre of Excellence in Skills, Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Development (TETCoE), following intensive certified short courses in CNG, Welding and Fibreglass Technology for vehicles.
Each participant underwent training valued at approximately N1.2 million, underscoring the significant investment being made in technical and vocational skills development and the college’s commitment to producing industry-ready manpower for Nigeria’s evolving economy.
