Energy security is a fundamental concern for sustainable development, and rural communities in Nigeria confront major obstacles in accessing dependable and affordable energy sources. Consequently, this study assesses the potential of Technical and Vocational Educational Training (TVET) in enhancing energy security in rural areas in Nigeria. The study adopts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to assess the potential of TVET in enhancing energy security in rural areas in Nigeria. It examines the present energy situations in rural areas and highlights the primary barriers to energy availability. The study concluded that TVET can greatly help to improving energy security and boosting socioeconomic development in Nigeria's rural areas by concentrating on capacity building, skill development, and local empowerment.
