The federal government has been asked to continue to strengthen the Technical Aid Corps, the NTAC agency under the Ministry of Federal Affairs, to boost financial support to the agency for improved foreign policy and South-South cooperation.
Foreign affairs analyst and Executive Director of the New Era for Sustainable Leadership and Accountability Initiative (NESLAI) Edwin Olorunfemi made this demand in a statement to DAILY POST on Sunday.
This comes as he hailed NTAC for its far-reaching contributions to Nigeria’s foreign policy objectives and the strengthening of South–South cooperation.
According to him, the Corps has consistently projected the country’s values, competence, and goodwill across Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific with its TAC’s programs built around the deployment of skilled Nigerian professionals to improve human capacity development.
“Through NTAC, Nigeria has not only shared expertise but has also built enduring relationships rooted in solidarity, cooperation, and shared development aspirations.”
“NTAC has proven its value through impact, service, and results. Supporting the Corps is ultimately about sustaining Nigeria’s voice, leadership, and positive footprint in the global community,” he stated.
