Exceptional talent.
From Nigeria. To the world.
Hire from Nigeria is a private sector-led national campaign, backed by government, that connects international buyers with capable Nigerian operators and talent. One front door. Real capability. A conversation away.
The case is practical, not sentimental.
Four things make Nigeria a serious answer for teams buying customer experience, business operations, and technology services. Each one holds up in a boardroom.
Depth of talent
Africa's largest country and its largest English-speaking workforce, with one of the biggest youth talent pools in the world and a substantial graduate pipeline every year.
English that works
English is Nigeria's official language of business, education, and government, and Nigeria places in the high-proficiency band of international English indices.
Your working hours
Full real-time overlap with the UK and Europe, and workable morning overlap with North America. Nobody works the night shift to serve you.
Cost that survives scrutiny
Delivery costs materially below onshore markets and competitive with established offshore hubs. An advantage that holds through due diligence, not just the pitch.
We make the introduction. The operators close the deal.
Hire from Nigeria is a market-making campaign, not a recruitment agency. We make Nigeria visible, credible, and reachable to international buyers, then route them to capable operators.
- Evidence first, promotion second: only verified claims, presented for forwarding to your board.
- Every operator we introduce has been through a verification conversation before you meet them.
- A concierge journey from first enquiry to contract, with the coalition team close throughout.
Build your own operation here.
Some companies do not want to buy services; they want to build in Nigeria: a delivery centre, a global capability centre, or a country operation. The campaign supports that path too.
- Government introductions through the coalition's backing across trade, labour, and foreign affairs.
- Location and regulatory guidance, from city selection to compliance.
- Connections to the talent pipeline and operator partners who can help you stand up.
One campaign, many hands.
Hire from Nigeria launched in Abuja on 31 August 2026: government and private sector together from the first moment, because international buyers respond to legitimacy at first contact.
Co-led by two private sector partners, with more joining.
Backed and championed by the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, and supported by:
- National Talent Export Programme (NATEP)
- Investment in Digital and Creative Enterprises (i-DICE)
- Bank of Industry
- Federal Ministry of Education
- Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation
- Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Hire from Nigeria works alongside Nigeria's wider talent ecosystem. The TTS Nigeria Program, a separate workforce development program supported by the Mastercard Foundation, builds and prepares talent; Hire from Nigeria connects capability of that kind to global opportunity.
