Thursday Newsway reports that the he importance of our Technical colleges cannot be overemphasized. Government must draw up a workable template for Nigeria industrial revolution. Our country has a huge volume of an untapped innovative brains wasting away in banking halls and government parastatals as a result of desperation to make ends meet.

 Our Polytechnics and Technical Colleges should not be a face saving haven for people who could not get admission into universities but an institution where innovative and creative minds are trained and pushed to take over the world. Nigeria needs to model the frame works of Polytechnics and Technical Colleges into something more sophisticated than the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
