Abstract

Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into educational systems generally has become globally
imperative, specifically for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET),
considering the dynamic nature of the job market demands and the speed at which technology
evolves. AI is key to fostering personalized learning, predictive assessment, and curriculum
alignment with Industry 4.0 standards. The review showed that Nigeria faces considerable
barriers to adopting AI within its TVET landscape, despite mounting evidence that AI can bridge
workforce skill gaps, improve employability, and support national development goals. The
country grapples with challenges such as limited infrastructure, fragmented policies, insufficient
teacher training, and socio-cultural stigmas surrounding TVET programs. And that the adoption
of AI in Nigerian for TVET remains fragmented, often descriptive, and lacking in comprehensive
synthesis.
