- No nation develops beyond the human resource it possesses, this is because the human resources of a nation, not its physical capital or its natural resources, ultimately determine the character and pace of its economic and social development. In the context of economic and social growth, Nigeria is not alone in its search for relevance in global competitiveness. As human resources are presumed as the life bloodstream of any nation to unlock the doors to modernization, development, and global competitiveness. As a result of this, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is acknowledged as the propellant influence that will assist any nation to be revolutionary in decoupling its growth and its resources by engaging in technological innovation and human capital development. Therefore, this paper is centered on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Nigeria and the roles of the public and private agencies in the development of the Nigerian human resource. This study also looked at the history of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Nigeria and its current state. The paper further argued that Nigeria does not seem to give Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) the attention it deserves. The study concludes that public-private partnerships (PPPs) should be extended to the expansion of infrastructure gap and the growing demand for Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) while recommending that Periodic staff and students exchange programs between TVET institutions and the industrial sector should be frequently implemented towards providing students and staff with relevant and contemporary technical experiences, which also benefit the industries from the theoretical understanding of TVET personnel and students will benefit from practical experiences from the industries.
