This paper presents the role of improved engineering
education in transforming Nigeria and indeed Africa’s
economy. The paper has determined that the training of
engineering graduates in Nigeria is way below the globally
accepted standard and basic facilities necessary to impact
knowledge are lacking in institutions all across the country.
These problems are compounded by government
underfunding resulting in poorly equipped facilities, obsolete
curriculum and Weak university-industry partnership.
The approach used in carrying out the study include appraisal
of government policies, review of research work and studies
carried out by experts and academicians
