The National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) has sanctioned the following five new programmes for the Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH).The programs are: the Higher National Diploma in Mass Communication, Banking and Finance, Metallurgy Engineering, National Diploma in Welding and Fabrication and Public Administration.

This is contained in a press statement signed and released by Mr Charles Oni, YABATECH’s Head, Public Relations Unit, and made available to newsmen in Lagos on Thursday.

It cited Dr Margaret Ladipo, Minister of the Institution as saying that the management received the report with gratitude to God, while awaiting other approvals.

“Our dream of elaboration access to higher education for the nation’s youths is gradually being achieved,’’ it said.

It said that with the certification of the programmes, the future had become brighter for youngsters who wanted to bring together their brains with their hands to make a living.

“This forms our concentration on creating industry within the system and emphasis on entrepreneurial education to ensure our products go out there to make a difference as job creators and not job seekers.

“Even, the few that may search for jobs would have been fully baked for the challenges in their chosen industries’’ it said.

The statement recommended the Tertiary Education Trust Fund, (TETFund) governing council and its members for their support in the drive to sustain YABATECH as the institution of first choice in technological education.
