INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
In Nigeria the birth of a child is heralded with fanfare and joy. The dream of any family is to educate the child to acquire appropriate skills so as to contribute his quota to the development of his society when employed.
This view is further entrenched in the National Policy of Education as encapsulated in one of the five main objective of Nigeria’s national development plan which is the building of a land full of bright and opportunities for all citizens.
To facilitate the attainment of this objective, the skills acquisition at all levels had to be oriented towards meeting the demands and aspirations for the common good of the society.
In this direction, the government operating the different levels of education is over burdened, especially with increase in population to providing adequate infrastructural equipment and personnel for imparting the required skills for national development.
Therefore, the Federal Republic of Nigeria (FRN) goes further to state that government welcomes and encourages the participation of local communities, individual and other organizations that will lubricate the process of graduate employment through the provision of learning materials in schools, establishment of institutions and skills acquisition centres across the country (Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2004).
