President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has renewed the appointment of Professor Idris Muhammad Bugaje as the Executive Secretary of the National Board for Technical Education, NBTE, for a second and final term of five years.

The State House, Abuja, in a Statement, indicated that Professor Bugaje was appointed Executive Secretary of NBTE on March 14, 2021, for an initial term of five years.

Some of the achievements the NBTE recorded, in line with the President's Renewed Hope Agenda for education, include: the strategic repositioning and strengthening of Nigeria's TVET ecosystem; comprehensive curriculum modernization; and the development and review of 100 national curricula in line with global skills demands.

The President urged the NBTE Executive Secretary to use his second term to consolidate ongoing reforms and complete the critical initiatives already underway.
