How Vocational Reforms Turn TVET Graduates into Teachers Tuesday, January 13, 2026 — 4 min read Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is undergoing a quiet revolution. Once viewed solely as a pathway to skilled employment, TVET is now being reshaped by vocational reforms that empower graduates not only to work—but to teach. Across many countries, these reforms are transforming experienced artisans, technicians, and technologists into certified educators who pass on practical skills to the next generation. From Skills to Systems: What’s Changing? Modern vocational reforms focus on building complete skills ecosystems . Instead of ending at certification, TVET programs now include: Pedagogy and assessment training for outstanding graduates Industry-to-classroom bridges that recognize workplace experience as a teaching asset National Skills Qualification (NSQ/NVQ) frameworks that formalize teaching pathways Continuous professional development (CPD) for instructor...
📰 Court Orders Service of Motion in Nnamdi Kanu’s Transfer Request
Abuja, Nigeria — December 9, 2025
A Federal High Court in Abuja has directed the detained leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, to serve his motion on the Federal Government of Nigeria (FG) and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS). The motion seeks a transfer from the current detention facility at the Sokoto Correctional Centre. (The Nation Newspaper)
⚖️ What the Motion Seeks
-
Kanu had originally filed an ex parte motion requesting a court order “compelling” the Federal Government and/or NCoS to transfer him from Sokoto Prison to a correctional facility within the jurisdiction of the Abuja Federal High Court. (TheCable)
-
As an alternative, the motion requested relocation to a facility closer to Abuja — such as Suleja, Keffi, or Kuje — arguing that such a transfer would enable him to “effectively prosecute his constitutionally guaranteed right of appeal.” (Vanguard News)
🧑⚖️ What the Court Did
-
The presiding judge, James Omotosho, declined to grant the ex parte application. He noted that because the motion sought to compel federal authorities and NCoS — who were not notified — the request could not be fairly granted without giving them a chance to respond. (TheCable)
-
The judge struck out the first relief (the “compel” order) and ordered that the motion be converted into a motion on notice — meaning Kanu must formally serve the FG and NCoS so they can be heard. (Independent Newspaper Nigeria)
-
A new hearing date was scheduled for January 27, 2026, to allow time for the respondents to respond. (Independent Newspaper Nigeria)
📌 What This Means
-
For now, the court has not approved the requested transfer. Instead, it has emphasised due process by ensuring the Federal Government and the Correctional Service are given formal notice and an opportunity to respond.
-
The requirement to serve the motion may delay any potential transfer. As of the ruling, Kanu remains at the Sokoto Correctional Centre.
-
The outcome of the January 2026 hearing will determine whether Kanu will be relocated — likely to a custodial facility closer to Abuja, which would improve access to legal counsel and facilitate his appeal process.
