The Federal Government has unveiled a **Unified Institution Management Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Portal** aimed at improving data management and strengthening governance across polytechnics and technical institutions in Nigeria.
The initiative, driven by the **National Board for Technical Education (NBTE)**, marks a significant step in the ongoing digital transformation of the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector.
Speaking at the launch, NBTE Executive Secretary, **Prof. Idris M. Bugaje**, described the ERP platform as a game-changer in the administration of technical education.
> “The ERP platform will transform administration in our institutions, enhance transparency, and promote accountability in ways we have never achieved before,” he said.
In a technical presentation, **Dr. Babangida A. Albaba**, Technical Assistant to the Executive Secretary, highlighted that the system was designed with robust security features to ensure reliability and data protection, while simplifying registration and onboarding for institutions.
The Minister of Education, **Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa**, represented by the Minister of State for Education, **Prof. Suwaiba Said Ahmad**, officially launched the portal, stressing that compliance is mandatory.
> “All polytechnics and technical institutions must complete their registration on the platform by December 2025. This is not optional — it is mandatory,” she declared.
While some stakeholders raised concerns about operational challenges, resource allocation, and data security, the NBTE assured them of comprehensive support to guarantee seamless adoption.
Prof. Bugaje reiterated that the board will provide both the technology and technical assistance required for a smooth transition.
The NBTE emphasized that the platform’s rollout represents a **landmark step in modernizing Nigeria’s technical education system**, ensuring more efficient, transparent, and accountable institutional administration nationwide.
