The UK Department for International Development has advised the Nigerian government to invest in its human capital if it must attain its greatness.
She said: “In order for the country to move to greatness, we need nourished, educated young people who can take up work to create jobs for themselves, the families, societies and the nation. According to her, “Nigeria is our second investment globally. We gave nearly half a billion pounds to this country last year. And we will continue to work with you in partnership.”
