NTAC's Yusuf Buba Yakub Sends Volunteers to Rwanda

Rt. Hon. Yusuf Buba Yakub, the Director-General/CEO of the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps (NTAC), addressed ten newly selected volunteers set for deployment to Rwanda during their orientation at the NTAC Complex in Abuja.

He emphasized the importance of upholding Nigeria's image and conducting themselves with integrity, professionalism, and patriotism throughout their two-year assignments. Yakub described the volunteers as ambassadors of Nigeria, stressing that their actions would reflect on the country's reputation.

He noted that the volunteers were chosen to fill specific manpower gaps based on requests from Rwanda and were expected to contribute meaningfully to the country's development. Established in 1987, NTAC plays a crucial role in Nigeria's soft-power diplomacy and has provided technical assistance across Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific for 38 years.

Yakub expressed gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for supporting NTAC's mandate and acknowledged the contributions of Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, the Minister for Foreign Affairs. He assured the volunteers of continued welfare support during their assignment.
