The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, has said Nigeria is well-positioned to become a leading player in the global talent economy.
Oduwole made the assertion in a statement issued on Wednesday by the National Coordinator of the National Talent Export Programme, Teju Abisoye, to mark one year since the relaunch of the agency.
She stated that NATEP has intensified efforts to develop the country’s workforce and expand opportunities in the international services market, highlighting a series of policy reforms, institutional developments and strategic partnerships.
According to the minister, the global economy is increasingly being driven by knowledge, skills and talent, creating new opportunities for countries that invest in human capital development.
