Abstract:
Indigenous technology education plays a vital role in fostering national development by harnessing the unique knowledge, skills, and resources of a country's indigenous population. In the case of Nigeria, a country rich in diverse cultures and traditions, promoting indigenous technology education can serve as a powerful catalyst for sustainable development and economic growth.

This paper provides an abstract analysis of the significance of promoting indigenous technology education in Nigeria as a panacea for national development. It highlights the potential benefits and challenges associated with integrating indigenous knowledge systems into the formal education system and explores strategies to effectively implement and sustain such initiatives.

The incorporation of indigenous technology education in the Nigerian educational system can contribute to several key areas of national development. Firstly, it helps preserve and promote the country's rich cultural heritage, ensuring that traditional knowledge and skills are passed down from one generation to another. This preservation of cultural identity contributes to national unity and social cohesion.

Secondly, indigenous technology education empowers local communities by providing them with the knowledge and skills necessary to leverage their natural resources and traditional practices for sustainable development. By integrating traditional knowledge with modern scientific principles, indigenous communities can develop innovative solutions to local challenges in areas such as agriculture, healthcare, and environmental conservation.

Furthermore, promoting indigenous technology education enhances the overall quality of education in Nigeria. It encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity among students, fostering a multidisciplinary approach to learning. By incorporating indigenous knowledge systems into the curriculum, students gain a broader understanding of their cultural heritage, fostering a sense of pride and identity.

However, several challenges must be addressed to effectively promote indigenous technology education in Nigeria. These challenges include inadequate funding, lack of infrastructure, limited recognition of indigenous knowledge systems, and resistance to change within the formal education system. Overcoming these obstacles requires a multi-stakeholder approach involving government agencies, educational institutions, community leaders, and indigenous communities themselves.

To successfully implement and sustain indigenous technology education initiatives, this paper proposes the following strategies: increased investment in education infrastructure, curriculum development that integrates indigenous knowledge systems, capacity building for teachers to effectively teach indigenous technology, and the establishment of partnerships between educational institutions and indigenous communities.

In conclusion, promoting indigenous technology education in Nigeria has the potential to drive national development by preserving cultural heritage, empowering local communities, and enhancing the overall quality of education. By recognizing and embracing indigenous knowledge systems, Nigeria can harness the creativity, innovation, and problem-solving capabilities of its indigenous population, fostering sustainable and inclusive development for the nation as a whole
