Abstract
The high status of socio-economic development in Nigeria can only be attained if both hands are joined together to embrace technical education. The notion that many Nigerians wish to enjoy the fruits of technical education as rightly witnessed in the developed countries without due recognition of technical personnel had made this country not been able to get its acts together in stimulating a national consciousness that can propel self-motivated development. Since technical education holds the master key to socio-economic development, Nigeria‟s wish for social and economic development will be fully attained if she has that master key which is „TECHNOLOGY”. Hence, Nigeria needs technical education to provide her subjects with social infrastructures such as a good transportation system, constant power supply, good and adequate water supply scheme, adequate food and shelter. She also needs the technical know-how to turn the wheel of her industrial progress and provide job opportunities for the entire citizenry. Technical education fosters all-round development for the country that acquires it but until Nigeria is able to realize herself, identify those problems confronting technical education, tackle and solve them, the situation of neglect presently experienced with technical education in Nigeria will continue to militate against our efforts at achieving social, economic and technological development.
