The Federal Government has unveiled the Unified Institution Management Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Portal, a digital platform designed to transform data management in Nigeria’s polytechnics and technical institutions.
The portal, developed by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), forms part of the board’s digital transformation agenda aimed at boosting transparency, accountability, and operational efficiency within the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) sector.
Speaking at the launch, the Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, represented by the Minister of State for Education, Prof. Suwaiba Said Ahmad, directed all institutions to register on the platform before the December 2025 deadline.
“All polytechnics and technical institutions must complete their registration on the portal by December 2025. Participation is mandatory,” Prof. Ahmad said.
During the interactive session, stakeholders expressed concerns over operational challenges, resource allocation, and data security. In response, NBTE assured users of robust data protection measures, reliable access, and full technical support.
The launch of the ERP portal is considered a major milestone in modernizing Nigeria’s TVET system. It is expected to streamline administration, enhance service delivery, and strengthen oversight across institutions nationwide.
