The Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Atiku Bagudu, has revealed that the federal government was liaising with other countries to provide remote work opportunities for Nigerian youths.
Bagudu said this at the KPMG Budget 2025 Day in a live broadcast.
The minister, who noted that this was the first full-year budget after the total deregulation of petroleum prices and the deregulation of the foreign exchange market, in addition to the reduction in electricity subsidy by creating tariff categories, pointed out that the economy was moving in the right direction.
Responding to the question of human capital development and budgetary allocations to education, Bagudu said the economy is headed in the right direction, adding that when public investment is made to support education and skill, then the private sector will be confident that there are skill sets in the country that can support private investment.
