The Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, has revealed that more than 90,000 applicants have applied for the Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET).
He disclosed that the applications were received less than a week after the portal for the initiative was launched.
He made this known via his X handle on Tuesday, describing the development as an incredible show of interest in skills development across Nigeria.
He said the ministry was thrilled by the overwhelming response to the TVET initiative with the number of applications.
He encouraged applicants to ensure the names on their BVN and NIN matches to avoid delays in submission, while assuring Nigerians that the government was working to resolve other issues encountered by applicants.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the TVET initiative was officially inaugurated on May 30, to empower youths with industry relevant skills for self-reliance as well as increase their employability.
