According to a statement signed by the Ministry’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Ben Folasade, the reform will convert all Federal Science and Technical Colleges into Federal Technical Colleges beginning with the 2025/2026 academic session. Under the new system, each college is required to offer a minimum of six and a maximum of ten trade courses.
Education Minister Dr. Maruf Alausa and Minister of State Professor Suwaiba Sa’id Ahmad explained that students will take between nine and ten subjects, comprising one core trade, five to six general subjects, two to three trade-related subjects, and one elective. Citizenship and Heritage Studies has also been introduced alongside core science and language subjects.
“The reform is designed to reduce overload, build strong trade competencies, align with global standards, and prepare young Nigerians for the jobs of the future,” the statement read.
