The Federal Government on Thursday said it was seeking ways to end the trend of Nigerians relocating abroad.
The government also noted that it would work towards ensuring Nigerians were gainfully employed to discourage the need to travel abroad.
The Minister of State for Science, Technology and Innovation, Henry Ikoh, made the statement in Abuja while receiving the Secretary-General of the Digital Cooperation Organisation, Ms Deemah Yahya, who paid him a courtesy visit in connection with the upcoming Digital Nigeria Day Conference.
He said the government intended to correct the trend through industrialisation, which could be achieved by synergising with the DCO in the area of human capital development.
His word: “The synergy is what we require, capacity building is key and technology transfer is what Nigeria and Africa in particular needs at the moment so that the world can be a global village. We need to collaborate in all areas to ensure harmony.
