FG welcomes back 12 TAC volunteers from Liberia
The federal government has welcomed 12 Technical Aid Corps (TAC) volunteers back from Liberia after a successful 24-month mission aimed at bridging the country’s educational gap.
The volunteers were received during a debriefing exercise in Abuja on Monday to honour their contributions.
Yusuf Yakub, director-general of the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps (NTAC), congratulated the volunteers for their dedication and efforts in strengthening Liberia’s educational sector.
Represented by Saidu Muhammad, deputy director of administration, Mr Yakub lauded the volunteers for their professionalism, discipline, and commitment, noting that no complaints were reported regarding their conduct during the assignment.
Also speaking, Zakari Usman, director of programmes for the corps, said the volunteers “have gone, seen, and conquered”, highlighting that their service made Nigeria proud and projected the nation’s humanitarian values abroad.
On behalf of the volunteers, team lead Nwofoke Chukwuemeka thanked President Bola Tinubu and the NTAC D-G for the opportunity to serve Nigeria internationally.
He acknowledged the Nigerian Embassy in Liberia for providing vital support that eased their adjustment and commended his team for tirelessly assisting the Liberian government in upgrading its education system, which had faced persistent post-war challenges.
The ceremony ended with the presentation of certificates of participation to all 12 volunteers, marking the successful completion of their mission.
