The Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment has announced the relaunch of the National Talent Export Programme (NATEP), a bold initiative led by Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, the minister.

The renewed programme is designed to tap into the $1 trillion global outsourcing industry by positioning Nigeriaโ€™s youth as a world-class talent pool for digital and professional services.

โ€œWhat we celebrate today is not merely the launch of a program; it represents the continuation of a vision to position Nigeria as a global leader in the future of work and services,โ€ said Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, the minister of Industry, Trade and Investment. โ€œWith digital transformation firmly embedded in President Bola Ahmed Tinubuโ€™s economic vision, Nigeria is enhancing the infrastructure, systems, and policy tools necessary for an inclusive and innovation-driven future.โ€

In alignment with President Tinubuโ€™s 8-point agenda, NATEP is designed to empower Nigeriaโ€™s youth, harness global service export opportunities, and drive inclusive economic transformation.

With a youthful, English-speaking population, a strategic time zone, and rapidly advancing digital infrastructure, Nigeria is uniquely positioned to become a competitive global supplier of skilled talent.

Under the leadership of Dr. Oduwole, NATEP represents a strategic move to diversify Nigeriaโ€™s economy, boost foreign exchange earnings, and create sustainable employment.

The programme will focus on aggregating global demand and connecting it with Nigeriaโ€™s skilled workforce through structured and ethical talent export pathways.

The Ministryโ€™s goal is to create 1 million direct export-linked jobs and up to 5 million indirect jobs within five years.

In addition, NATEP aims to attract over $1 billion in foreign direct investment to Nigeriaโ€™s growing service export economy.

This programme targets high-impact sectors such as technology, business process outsourcing (BPO), the creative economy, healthcare, professional services, and remote work.

As part of this relaunch, Mrs. Teju Abisoye has been appointed as the National Coordinator of NATEP. A development finance expert with over two decades of

experience, she has led major national employment initiatives and played key roles in government interventions, entrepreneurship support, and private sector engagement. Her leadership brings clarity, focus, and execution strength to the programmeโ€™s vision.

Speaking at the relaunch, Teju noted,

โ€œOur mandate at NATEP is to position Nigeria as Africa’s peerless global talent hub by building an enabling ecosystem through policy, platforms, promotion, and partnerships. We would actualise this critical national objective by upskilling and enabling Nigeria’s teeming young human capital to take advantage of the $1 trillion global service trade, with soaring demand for digital services, outsourcing, and remote work. This is one of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s strategic interventions to tackle youth unemployment head-on, generate vital foreign exchange, and diversify our economy through service sector expansionโ€.

NATEP, a Special Purpose Vehicle under the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, has evolved from a basic outsourcing facilitator into a full-scale ecosystem enabler.

The programme will now drive policy reform, expand digital infrastructure, strengthen international partnerships, and create reliable talent pipelines that match global standards.

Key components of NATEP include:

  • Training 10 million Nigerians in globally recognized digital and professional certifications
  • Incentivizing BPO and IT-enabled service companies to expand operations in Nigeria
  • Creating legal and ethical pathways for talent export in alignment with global labor needs
  • Building a national talent database to map skills and track employment opportunities
  • Partnering with global outsourcing platforms and employers to aggregate demand

In alignment with President Tinubuโ€™s 8-point agenda, NATEP is designed to empower Nigeriaโ€™s youth, enhance foreign exchange earnings, and support inclusive economic transformation. With a youthful, English-speaking population,

strategic time zone, and growing digital infrastructure, Nigeria is uniquely positioned to become a competitive global talent supplier.

Minister, NATEP Sign MoU with Alaro City and Itana

To mark this renewed direction, the Honourable Minister led a high-level delegation on an official visit to Alaro City, home to Itana, Nigeriaโ€™s first Digital Special Economic Zone, on Friday, May 30, 2025.

The Minister also leveraged the visit to execute a Memorandum of Understanding aimed at strengthening public-private sector collaboration and showcasing the infrastructure and innovation ecosystem that will support the programmeโ€™s success.

Dr. Oduwole stated,

โ€œI am proud to announce a significant milestone in this effort: the successful signing of a strategic agreement to create an initial 100,000 jobs across high-impact sectors โ€” made possible through collaboration with platforms like Itana, Alaro City, and other partners to mark the beginning of a new phase of joint execution.โ€
