The President, Bola Tinubu, has launched an expatriate employment levy - an initiative by the Ministry of Interior - at the State House Council Chambers in Abuja.

The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, via his X handle wrote: "President #officialABAT (GCFR) today launched the Expatriate Employment Levy at the State House Council Chambers. The project will be operated on a Public Private Partnership (PPP) model between the Federal Government of Nigeria represented by the Ministry of interior as the guarantor with the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), as implementing agency.

"The new initiative is expected to generate revenue for the government; improve nationalization/indigenization; increase employment opportunities for Nigerians with foreign companies operating in the country; balance employment opportunities between Nigerians and expatriates; close wage gaps between the expatriates and the Nigerian Labour Force; and facilitate knowledge transfer to grow the economy."

Yes my oga is working

Huge IGR is about to be harvested and generated for Nigerians from this

This is a welcome development

The initiative was placed under a capable office.. office of the ministry of Interior.

Lovely initiative..
I was just thinking today about job losses in some industries due to inflation and how Nigerians below management level will be the most affected while those foreigners take up all the management positions in comapnies situated within the shores of Nigeria. We have to protect our people and ensure they have jobs before foreigners will take over the few openings available.

Yea good initiative if you ask me though
