‎The Nigerian Technical Aid Corps (NTAC) has reaffirmed its commitment to South–South cooperation, pledging support to developing countries through the deployment of volunteers across Africa and the Caribbean.

‎The Director-General of NTAC, Yusuf Yakub, made this known while speaking after an orientation exercise for prospective volunteers to St. Kitts and Nevis in Abuja,

‎He stated that Nigeria had sufficient skilled manpower to share with other nations in support of their development efforts.

‎Yakub revealed that part of the new initiative at the NTAC was the sale of labour for a fee, which would bring revenue to the country and also discourage and eliminate illegal migration.

‎The NTAC DG added that the initiatives would also allow Nigerians migrate and work in other parts of the world with dignity and respect, instead of going through the desert and sea.

‎Following successful deployments to Grenada and Jamaica, Dr Yakub revealed that the Corps planned to extend similar engagements to six additional Eastern Caribbean countries in 2026.
