The newly appointed Executive Secretary of the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), Prof. Idris Bugaje has unveiled agenda for the improvement of the Board, just as he urged the staff to sit up to regain the lost glory of the Board.
A statement issued by the Deputy Director, Public Relations and Media, Jacob Abang said the Executive Secretary formally received handover notes from the Acting Executive Secretary of the Board,  Mr. Abati Muhammad in a brief ceremony held in the NBTE Board Room, Kaduna.
While addressing Management staff of the Board, Prof. Bugaje who also unveiled a 3Ss Road Map for the Board, stated that he accepted the appointment of NBTE because he viewed it as a call for national service and his determination to transform the Board and make it occupy its rightful place in the scheme of things in the country and beyond.
According to Prof. Bugaje, his administration will, within the first year, be anchored on a 3Ss agenda namely; Scheme of Service, Skills, and the NBTE Spirit.
On Scheme of Service, he said that it is important for the Polytechnic sector to have a unified scheme of service such that staff of NBTE will also exit the service at the age of 65 during which they will have the opportunity to go on sabbatical to Polytechnics just as Polytechnic   staff   will   also   come   to   NBTE   on   sabbatical   to   promote   interaction   and understanding among the stakeholders in the TVET sector.
On Skills, he explained that in order to train and equip the teaming youth with relevant skills that can enable them get jobs, the Board will revive its zonal offices to carryout advocacy on skills and interface with industries and other agencies in the zones on skills development,adding   that   model   skills   centres   would   also   be   set   up   in   the   six   geopolitical   zones   in collaboration with the industries.
“The staff of the Board would be trained to be qualified assessors and verifiers of skills in other to successfully carry out the task of assessing and verifying   skills   of   Nigerians.
“The   model   of   skills   development   found   in Morocco is the type that Nigeria should also strive to adopt and even improve upon”. He said.
Prof.Bugaje also expressed readiness to brief the NBTE Board Chairman to convince the Vice President,   who   is   the   Chairman   of   the   National   Skills   Council,   to   be   Nigeria’s   skills ambassador and chief promoter.
To revive the NBTE Spirit, the ES said he expects the current low spirit of the staff to be revived to what NBTE was known to be.
He decried what he referred to as ‘the low level NBTE has descended into and almost forgotten in the country’ and urged all staff to sit up so that the board can regain its lost glory.
He assured staff that he will work with anybody that is able to deliver results and further encouraged the staff union in the board to be active in terms of engaging management in areas that will promote the overall interest of the Board and the TVET sector in general.
The ES also revealed that he has resolved to make a strong case at the TETFund board for NBTE staff to also benefit from training sponsorship that is enjoyed by the polytechnic staff.
“Such training will equip the staff to carry out their duties professionally and competently. The Board  can  not shy away  from  engaging in IGR (Internally Generated   Revenue)   activities.  The  Board   will   register   a consultancy company that will carry out training and other services to clients in order to generate funds to carry out some of its functions.
“For the Board to carryout credible accreditation, the relevant authorities such as the Budget Office  and the Ministry of Finance  including the National Assembly will be engaged to ensure that there is budgetary provision for accreditation of government schools so that the current practice where schools pay for accreditation exercise with a tendency to influence outcomes will no longer continue”. Prof. Bugaje said.
