NTAC's Dr Yakub Lauds Tinubu's Support for Volunteers

Dr Yakub, the Director General of NTAC, praised President Tinubu for his significant support, which has enabled the deployment of over 1500 Volunteers to countries across Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific. This commendation occurred during an orientation exercise in Abuja for 13 Volunteers who are set to serve in the Republic of Sierra Leone.

The information was conveyed through a statement by Mr Nkem Anyata-Lafia, the Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the Director General. Dr Yakub reminded the Volunteers that they are following in the footsteps of previous participants, many of whom have achieved notable positions such as Vice Chancellors and Faculty Deans in foreign institutions.

He urged the Sierra Leone-bound Volunteers to meet the expectations of the NTAC Scheme and the standards established by their predecessors. The Volunteers expressed their commitment to serving as ambassadors of Nigeria and thanked the government for the opportunity to participate in the two-year program aimed at fostering South-South Cooperation among ACP countries.
