Federal Govt Recruiting Into The Nigeria Aids Corps Scheme!

Directorate of Technical Aid
Corps, Federal Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, Abuja, invites
applications from suitably
qualified Nigerians for the
recruitment into the Nigerian
Aid Corps Scheme for the
2012 - 2014 Biennium. The
scheme is designed to provide
manpower assistance in
specific area, on request, from
African Caribbean and Pacific
(ACP) countries. Prospective
candidates are therefore
expected to be highly
competent in their respective
professions and of impeccable
character.
The Technical Aid Corps (TAC)
scheme is a viable volunteer
programme operated by an
African country across ACP
countries. From independence,
aid and technical assistance
have been at the core of
Nigeria’s foreign policy
objectives.
TAC began in 1987 to
complement direct financial aid
from Nigeria to ACP countries
through skills exchange
towards strengthening
international understanding
and cooperation.
The Federal Government of
Nigeria in 1987 established the
Nigerian Technical Aid Corps
(TAC) scheme as a foreign
policy tool that would serve
specific national interests. The
statute establishing the
scheme - Decree 27 – was
signed into a law on 22
January 1993 and officially
documented on 5 May 1993,
thus giving it a legal backing
and framework.
Objectives
Key objectives of the scheme
are:
Sharing Nigeria’s know-
how and expertise with
other ACP countries
Giving assistance on the
basis of assessed and
perceived needs of
recipient countries
Ensuring a streamlined
programme of assistance
to other developing
countries
Acting as a channel
through which South-South
collaboration is enhanced
Establishing a presence in
countries which, for
economic reasons, Nigeria
has no resident diplomatic
mission.
Promoting cooperation and
understanding between
Nigeria and recipient
countries
Facilitating meaningful
contact between youths of
Nigeria and those of
recipient countries
Complementing other forms
of assistance to ACP
countries
