Tinubu Committed To Africa’s Development, Unity Through TAC-DG
The Director-General, Nigerian Technical Aid Corps (NTAC), Dr Yusuf Yakub said President Bola Tinubu is committed to Africa’s development using Technical Aid Corps Volunteers to bridge both professional and educational gaps.
Yakub said this on Monday in Abuja, during a deployment exercise for four TAC volunteers to Sierra Leone and Seychelles.
He lauded Tinubu for his strong support to the promotion of the mandate of NTAC using the 4-Ds in foreign policy, namely, Democracy, Development, Demography and Diaspora.
He said that Nigeria needed to be celebrated as the only country in Africa to engage and bridge the professional and educational gaps in African, Caribbean and the Pacific (ACP) countries in the past 37 years.
According to him, this is in the spirit of the United Nations’ South-South Co-operation.
“Over 10,000 Volunteers with diverse capacities have been sent to serve in over forty countries of the world.
”They have demonstrated competence, simplicity of lifestyle and above all quality service to the appreciation of the host countries and institutions where they serve,” he said.
The NTAC boss urged the volunteers to shun all hindrances to quality service-delivery in their countries of assignment.
“I understand that some of you may own big homes in Nigeria, but, please make do with whatever you are offered in your place of service.
“You must commit to making this country and our dear President proud on this national call to duty. If you have any challenges, please, contact our mission in the country where you are serving.
“The tripartite agreement you will sign with us and the country of your service will itemise all our responsibilities to you, which the corps will continue to abide by, ” he said.
Speaking earlier, Amb. Zakari Usman, the Director of Programmes at NTAC , urged the volunteers to strive to live up to the demands of the scheme by following in the exemplary footsteps of those who served before them.
Usman charged them to showcase the best of Nigeria as Ambassadors, in competence and in character at all times in their host communities.
A member of the Volunteers, Mr Salmanu Mamman-Shatta, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues, conveyed their appreciation to the Federal Government for giving them the opportunity to serve the nation as ambassadors.
Mamman-Shatta said that the team would do the nation proud in the 24-month service scheme.

NEDC Disowns Circulating MSc Education Support Fund Application
Joel Ajayi
The North East Development Commission (NEDC) has warned the public against a fake and unauthorised message circulating on social media about an alleged Education Support Fund for Master’s degree (MSc) students.
The Commission, in a disclaimer signed by its management on Friday, described the purported programme, including its stated requirements and the alleged submission point at the NEDC office in Polo, Maiduguri, as false and unauthorised.
According to the Commission, it is not currently receiving applications for any MSc Education Support Fund as contained in the circulating message.
NEDC therefore urged prospective applicants and other members of the public to disregard the information and avoid submitting personal documents to individuals or locations claiming to be acting on behalf of the Commission.
It specifically cautioned the public against releasing sensitive documents such as National Identification Number (NIN) slips, admission letters, identity cards and indigene certificates in connection with the purported programme.
The Commission further warned the public to remain vigilant against fraudulent schemes and the unauthorised use of NEDC’s name and identity to deceive unsuspecting applicants.
It advised members of the public seeking information on its programmes, interventions and opportunities to rely only on official NEDC communication channels and verified announcements issued by the Commission
