Skill “G” Nigeria Limited is a leading company in the promotion of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, as well as technical and vocational education in Nigeria and beyond.
The third cohort of participants from the SKILL ‘G’ Add-Ons Training program celebrated the completion of their capacity-building journey at the Skill-G training venue.
This transformative initiative results from a collaboration between TETFund and SKILL ‘G’ Nigeria Limited, aiming to enhance the technical training and knowledge capacities of lecturers and technologists from public tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
The goal is to equip them with the essential technical skills required to effectively use and maintain advanced equipment provided to their institutions by TETFund.
This edition specifically caters to lecturers and technologists from polytechnics across Nigeria. It was initiated by TETFund, NBTE, and Skill ‘G’ Nigeria Limited. The training was organized into four distinct departments: Autotronics, Mechatronics, Electronics, and Refrigeration & Air Conditioning (RAC).

The closing event was moderated by Engr. Okolie Chijioke Sampson, the Project Manager of Skill ‘G’ Group. He began by extending his gratitude to Arc.

He encouraged participants to integrate the training into their curriculum through a ‘Train the Trainer’ approach. Additionally, he urged participants to request the necessary equipment to reinforce the practical application of their SKAD training.
