Nigeria between 2015 to date deployed 2500 Technical Aid Corps (TAC) volunteers to African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries.
The deployments were done by the Federal Government’s Directorate of Technical Aid Corps (DTAC).
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyema made the disclosure on Thursday in Abuja.
The ministry presented its achievements at the 22nd edition of the Buhari Administration Scorecard Series (2015-2023).
The beneficiary countries were Benin Republic, Belize, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea Bissau, Jamaica, Liberia, Niger.
Others include Namibia, Rwanda, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, St. Kitts & Nevis, Tanzania, The Gambia and Uganda.
