The Federal Government has set a target of creating one million export-linked jobs by 2030 as Nigeria seeks to capture a larger share of the rapidly expanding global outsourcing market.
Vice President Kashim Shettima announced this at the global launch of the Hire From Nigeria campaign in New York, held on the sidelines of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly.
