“This initiative marks a strategic leap forward, positioning Nigeria as an emerging outsourcing powerhouse ready to make an indelible mark on the global economic landscape.
“Outsourcing, as an economic strategy, is not just about efficiency; it’s a profound recognition of our interconnectedness in the global economy,” he said.
Shettima stated that the global BPO industry is valued at over $250 billion, aimed at positioning Nigeria as the top destination for large companies seeking operational optimisation.
