Nigeria, through its Minister of State for Labor and Employment, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, expressed its desire to draw on Morocco’s experience in the field of vocational training.
Speaking at a meeting on Tuesday with Morocco’s Ambassador to Nigeria Moha Ou Ali Tagma, the Nigerian Minister highlighted her country’s interest in benefiting from Morocco’s expertise in capacity building to enhance skills development, particularly in the area of vocational training—an area where Morocco has achieved outstanding results.
The Nigerian government is ready to partner with Morocco’s Ministry of Employment to advance vocational training, skills development, social security, and cooperative development in both formal and informal sectors of the country’s economy, Onyejeocha stated.
The Nigerian official explained that this partnership aims to enhance economic growth, social welfare, and human capital development in Nigeria. She noted that it would also help improve skill development and professional certification, thereby boosting labourforce efficiency and productivity.
“This partnership seeks not only to create jobs and generate foreign currency earnings through the export of qualified workers, but also to promote a capacity-building approach that will enable Nigerians to acquire the skills needed for the global market,” she explained.
She highlighted that developing human capital is another key goal, pointing out that training and retraining the workforce helps boost economic growth and fosters cooperative development and entrepreneurship.
This meeting builds on the earlier discussion between the Nigerian Minister and Morocco’s Minister of Economic Inclusion, Small Business, Employment, and Skills, Younes Sekouri, during the recent International Labour Organisation conference in Geneva.
