Nigeria to Deploy Skilled Professionals to Saint Lucia and Caribbean Nations Under New Technical Manpower Assistance Agreement

Nigeria is set to send a team of skilled professionals—including teachers, doctors, and agriculturists—to Saint Lucia and other Caribbean countries as part of a recently signed Technical Manpower Assistance (TMA) Agreement. This initiative aims to bolster bilateral ties by sharing Nigeria’s expertise to support development efforts in the Caribbean region.

The professionals will provide crucial support in education, healthcare, and agriculture—helping improve educational standards, strengthen medical services, and enhance food production and sustainability. The partnership promises mutual benefits through knowledge exchange and capacity building, advancing development goals for both Nigeria and the recipient nations.

Officials from Nigeria and the Caribbean have expressed optimism about the agreement’s potential to deepen cooperation, including future opportunities in technology transfer and skills development. This move underscores Nigeria’s expanding role as a key player in international development and its commitment to fostering global partnerships.
