The Federal Government on Saturday welcomed 15 returning Technical Aid Corps, TAC, volunteers from the Republic of Benin.
Dr Yusuf Yakub, Director-General of the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps, NTAC, during a reception and debriefing ceremony for the volunteers, commended them for their service to humanity.
Yakub reiterated the agency’s support in facilitating the process of retaining the services of any volunteer who had been offered employment in their host country.
He said the government was proud of their service to humanity in bridging both the educational and professional gaps in African, Caribbean, and Pacific, ACP, countries.
He conveyed the appreciation of President Bola Tinubu in line with the agency’s mandate to promote Nigeria’s foreign policy goals through soft power diplomacy.
The director-general said that, through the TAC scheme, the government had continued to send the right signals to the world.
“The signal is that Nigeria is ever ready to continue championing the quest for a better world through a more productive demography in ACP nations.
“The sacrifices we make today may not come easily, but our leaders understand that until you sacrifice something dear to you to make life better for others, many lives may never achieve the true essence of living.
“We thank you for the quality service you have collectively rendered to our sister country and appreciate the fact that you have earned the respect and love of the people of the Republic of Benin,” he said.

US President Donald Trump has called for the firing of Washington Post columnist Eugene Harold Robinson following the journalist’s criticism of Trump’s controversial decision to shut down the US Agency for International Development, USAID.
Robinson, in a story titled “These Republicans Should Be Ashamed of Themselves”, published on Thursday afternoon, said Trump “tramples” on the Constitution and is making “unacceptable choices” for his administration, but congressional Republicans are too scared to push back.
In the publication, the journalist also criticised Trump’s recent executive order that halted foreign aid to African countries.
Reacting, Trump took to his official account on Truth Social on Friday to fire back at the columnist.
Trump, who described Eugene Robinson as incompetent, wondered why he would justify the “waste, fraud, and corruption at USAID.”
He wrote: “Eugene Robinson of The Washington Post is INCOMPETENT! So sad to see him trying to justify the waste, fraud, and corruption at USAID with his pathetic Radical Left SPIN. He should be fired immediately!”
