  On the 25th of July, 2019 inside Mapo Hall, Ibadan was an event organized by the Innovation Enterprise Institutions (IEIs) in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Education and Oyo State Ministry of Education, here the stakeholders in educational sector like the principal officials and the representatives of some educational institutions gathered, to discuss the importance of technical education to the development of both the economy of any nation and her citizenry; especially the youth, taking Nigeria as a case study.
  The various principal officials at the event spoke extensively to highlight on the much impact of the technical education, as the only means to facilitate growth of the youth to be self reliant and thus become the employers of labour.
 However, with the recognition and approval given to technical education by the Federal Government and good disposition of the states in Nigeria to support the enhancement and inclusion of technical education in their various ministries of education curriculum, with Joint Admission Matriculation Board officially making technical education part of the courses included for the admission into the various tertiary institutions; the organizers of the event stressed the fact to creating more awareness nationwide into both the urban and rural areas, making the parents and guardians know the enormous benefits lying in allowing their children and wards take up courses in technical education for their future prospect, with the overall advantage spreading far and wide for the benefit of the country economically and the citizenry in general.
 With this they enunciated that it would reduce the problem of unemployment in the country and save the teeming youth from solely depending on white collar jobs, which could keep them on the roads roaming about for employment and yet ease up their parents of the burden and unnecessary responsibilities in which they have found themselves, with taking care of the employable but jobless graduates; who are their children that must have passed out of the various institutions in the country yet have not secured any job.
