🇳🇬 Nigeria Dives Into the Future of Global Employment
As UNGA 81 continues to bring together leaders, innovators, businesses, and changemakers from around the world, Nigeria is stepping into an important conversation: what does the future of global employment look like, and where does African talent fit into it?
On September 24 in NYC, Hire from Nigeria will convene Impact Sourcing as a Driver of Global Trade and Inclusive Job Creation
a high-level gathering bringing together voices across government, technology, education, business, and development.
Some of the distinguished guests and speakers include Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Niger State Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago, NIMC’s Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, Education Minister Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, alongside leaders from Mastercard Foundation, Itana, Tech4Dev, and Semicolon Africa.
The conversation goes beyond job creation. It speaks to the growing connection between Nigerian talent and the global economy—and the opportunities that emerge when skills, innovation, technology, and diverse perspectives can move across borders.
There is also a strong diaspora dimension to this conversation. Global employment creates pathways for Nigerians to contribute to organizations and markets around the world while strengthening the connection between talent, opportunity, and home.
This is where community outreach becomes meaningful: bringing visibility to conversations, platforms, and opportunities that connect people to a bigger picture and making sure valuable information reaches the communities and networks that can engage with it.
Nigeria has talent. The global conversation is increasingly about creating the pathways for that talent to participate, compete, collaborate, and contribute on a global scale.
Stay tuned for more compelling programs and conversations unfolding throughout UNGA 81.
