The Federal Government has saved not less than N300 billion from overseas training courtesy of the Centre for Management Development (CMD) via its local content policy, an official said.
The Director General of the CMD, Kabir Usman, disclosed this to Economic Confidential in Abuja.
“There is also the local content agenda because there was a Circular from the Office of the Head of Service that Civil Servants should not just go for overseas training except and unless they got an approval that the kind of training cannot be acquired in Nigeria.”, he said.
“So, when you look at it and to be very honest with ourselves, we get about 500,000 Nigerians going for one training or the other overseas.”
