Nigeria Targets Global Outsourcing Market With Young Talent

Nigeria is stepping up efforts to become a major global outsourcing destination.

Vice President Kashim Shettima has promoted Nigeria’s large young workforce as an opportunity to connect Nigerian professionals with companies around the world.
