NTAC's Buba Yakub Highlights Achievements Under Tinubu

On September 17, 2026, Rt. Hon. Yusuf Buba Yakub, the Director-General and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps (NTAC), presented the agency's achievements under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration during a media interaction in Abuja. He emphasized NTAC's role in technical diplomacy, human-capital development, and Nigeria's global soft power, noting that the Corps has deployed over 10,000 Nigerian professionals to more than 40 countries since its establishment in 1987.

Yakub highlighted the alignment of NTAC's activities with President Tinubu's 4-D Foreign Policy framework: Democracy, Development, Demography, and Diaspora. He introduced a 3-R Agenda for NTAC focused on Repositioning, Retooling, and Re-engineering for improved efficiency.

Key achievements included the revitalization of the Technical Aid Corps Scheme and enhanced welfare for volunteers. Yakub described the professionals as "Ambassadors of Nigeria," whose contributions strengthen Nigeria's diplomatic relations and image abroad.
