To make the Nigerian Early childhood education Programme to be effectively placed for global competitiveness, it should be the type of education that would enable the young members of the society acquire knowledge, skills and work experiences that are desirable to solve global challenges that face the world today. Such challenges range from poverty, climate change to financial problems and conflicts’ that require global minded solutions which entail the use o appropriate skills. Evidences have shown that early childhood education has great positive influence on children’s effectiveness, conception and social development in subsequence years, but the current happenings in the pre- primary education system in Nigeria are worrisome. These include shortage of teachers for specialized subjects, inadequate modern instructional materials, poor motivational strategies, bribery and corruption; inadequate training for capacity building; delay in payment of salaries and exhorbitant school fees, shortage of classroom and office accommodation for teaching staff etc. These situations often result to poor academic performance which in the end constitutes threat to national economy and global competitiveness. Therefore, the inculcation of global competency skills is necessary so that the young ones can invest a future that appropriately addresses global challenges. Hence there is need for total overhaul and re-invention of the Nigerian Early Childhood Education Programme for meaningful development of both the individual and the Nigerian nation to position its products for effective global competition.
