The paper discusses the current condition of physics education in Nigerian secondary schools, and the challenges of teaching and learning physics in the country towards enhancing development in technology and further highlights some of the prospects of physics teacher education reform for Nigerian technology development. It also discusses the way forward to the current challenges for physics teacher education in Nigeria. Based on this, recommendations were made on the key reform issues; the use of innovative teaching methods in teaching Physics by physics teachers should be encouraged, government and the stakeholders should provide instructional material, training and retraining of physics teachers on information and communication technology, (ICT), government should ensure proper monitoring and implementation of the education reform, all level of education should be provided with adequate qualified physics teachers that would transform physics teacher education program and teaching/learning of physics towards refocusing physics education for technological development of Nigeria.
