Nigeria admitted into WorldSkills International

Nigeria has been admitted into WorldSkills International, marking a historic milestone in the nation’s vocational and technical education landscape. This admission, which was formalised during the WorldSkills General Assembly in Lyon, France, on September 9, opens a new chapter for Nigeria’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training system.
 
In a statement released on Friday, the President of the Sector Skills Council for Building in Nigeria, Dr Samson Opaluwah, expressed profound excitement over Nigeria’s admission. “This is a remarkable achievement that demonstrates the success of our National Skills Qualification Framework and our commitment to equipping our youth with globally competitive skills,” he said.

Opaluwah highlighted the significant benefits that Nigeria’s participation in WorldSkills International would bring. “Our youth now have the opportunity to participate in international skills competitions, gain exposure to global best practices, and develop their capabilities in various trades and occupations.
 
This is a critical step in preparing our workforce for the global economy,” he said. According to Opaluwah, Nigeria’s inclusion in WorldSkills International means that the country will be competing in the international skills championship for the first time in 2026. He stated that the competition would allow young Nigerians to showcase their technical skills on a global stage, further enhancing their employability and prospects for future success.
