The House of Representatives Committee on Polytechnic and Higher Technical Education has issued a final summon to the Federal Ministry of Education to submit all documents related to the implementation of the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme by August 18, 2026. Committee Chairman, Kayode Laguda, warned that failure to comply could result in further legislative action.
The committee had been seeking information on the TVET programme since January 30, 2025, but the minister has yet to appear before the committee or send a representative. Lawmakers have expressed dissatisfaction over the minister's repeated absence and accused him of disrespecting the National Assembly. However, some lawmakers urged caution and proposed giving the minister one final opportunity to appear before the committee to avoid punitive action.
