    TVET programme at all levels is in urgent need of revitalization. The quality, relevance and currency of skills and knowledge produced by the current training programme is clearly not meeting private sector need nor is it meeting student expectations for articulation, quality and employability. This is due to many challenges hindering effective implementation of TVET. This paper therefore presents the status of the programme and how national security is attainable through quality assurance in TVET. It further made recommendations on the way forward in improving and sustaining quality assurance in TVET programme in Nigeria.
