Abstract

With the increasing number of unemployable adult citizens in Nigeria, technical and vocational education appear to be the most effective mechanism for ensuring that citizens of Nigeria are engaged in legitimate economic activity. This is the reason funding of vocational and technical education appears to face enormous challenges and issues in Nigeria. But inadequate, misappropriation, corruption and bribery in the funding of vocational and technical education programmes have been major issues. However, the focus of vocational and technical education with regards to skills acquisition seems to be losing it value. This paper critically examines recent trends and issues in funding vocational and technical education in Nigeria and the way forward for adequate budgetary allocation to vocational and technical educational institutions and suggested needs for administrators of vocational and technical educational institutions to allocate resources equitably between institutional and non-institutional related activities.
