Abstract
The paper examined the need for a global partnership with TVET to ensure that the sustainable development goals set out by world leaders are convincingly achieved. The paper dwell on the three dimensions of SDGs identified during the declaration- economic, social and environmental. With respect to the economy, a case was made for adequate investment in the areas of agriculture and manufacturing. The need to establish a strong partnership with TVET institutions for the training of the unemployed without regard to sex, tribe, religion or physical challenges has been advocated as a panacea to some of the challenges facing Nigerian society. With regard to the environment, this paper advocates for a global partnership on sustainable green TVET.
