The National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) is to introduce a new welding methodology called Soldamatic technology into the curriculum of polytechnics across the country.

This cutting-edge technology offers cost-effective, hands-on training, equipping students with global-standard skills and self-sustainable incomes.
The NBTE Executive Secretary, Professor Idris Bugaje, made this known in Abuja during the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with a private firm, WhiteCloud TVET Solutions Limited, aimed at bridging the skills gap in welding, a field currently dominated by foreigners.
With welding in high demand worldwide, this initiative positions Nigerian students for success while advancing local technical education.
