Abstract

This study examined the effect of green TVET in nurturing sustainable development in Nigeria focusing on staff (Lecturers, Technicians, Technologies, and Instructors) of four (4) TVET institutions in Ogun state. A descriptive survey approach was adopted. Using a purposive sampling technique, a quota of 100 staff was assigned to each school leading to a total population of 400 staff for this study. The sample size of 383 staff was determined via Taro Yamane sampling techniques. A 20-items questionnaire with four-point Likert scale was used to gather information on Green Curriculum and Technology (GCT), Green Campus (GCa), Green Culture (GCu), and Environmental Sustainability (ES). Validity and reliability test were evaluated using component factor analysis and cronbach's alpha statistic respectively. Multiple linear regression was employed to analyze the data. The study concluded that there is a significant relationship between green TVET and sustainable development in Nigeria. The study recommended that TVET institutions should guarantee green sustainability components are integrated into TVET curricula; campus-wide sustainability programs should be emulated; and TVET tertiary institutions should implement adequate law and order to support green cultural practice
