On Tuesday, Technical Operations Specialist Enemosah Aliyu stated that Nigeria is focusing on nurturing local skills to foster industrial expansion, shifting its dependence from external experts to homegrown talents.

This change coincides with the government intensifying its efforts to bolster its workforce via programs such as the 3 Million Technical Talent initiative, targeting the training of three million experts by 2027.

In a statement to PUNCH Online, Aliyu stated that the revamp of Nigeria’s technical personnel is fueled by an increased emphasis on enhancing capabilities and developing skills.

“As Nigeria strives for energy efficiency, industrial autonomy, and technological robustness, it has become evident that lasting achievement can only be established through indigenous knowledge,” stated Aliyu.

The dependence on foreign consultants and external training programs is slowly being replaced by a more local and strategic method for developing the workforce.

This transition is in line with Nigeria’s wider economic strategy, focusing on providing professionals with the essential technical abilities needed to bolster key areas like manufacturing, energy, and infrastructure.

In the meantime, the administration has detailed comprehensive plans for empowering young people in 2025. These plans encompass generating employment opportunities, providing access to funds, supporting startup initiatives, and setting up youth centers across the country aimed at nurturing creativity and involvement.

Leaders from various industries are urging for greater financial support in technical education and training initiatives to address the changing requirements of the job market. Aliyu highlighted the significance of cooperation between government bodies and private enterprises to expedite skill enhancement efforts.

“A robust industrial sector relies on a well-trained workforce, and Nigeria should make sure that its educational programs align with the demands of various industries,” he noted.

Specialists think that bolstering indigenous skills will improve Nigeria’s standing globally and decrease the money spent on international experts.

Even with hurdles like limited funds and obsolete course materials, Aliyu stays hopeful that consistent policy backing and collaborations with businesses will foster significant long-term change.
