The Director-General of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Dr Isa Ibrahim, noticed that with such immense spend, BPO exercises can possibly add to hauling Nigeria out of the present difficulties.
He included that with well-spoken arranging and coordination by government, and compelling interest by ITECs, huge advance can be made for Nigeria to share from the billions of dollars in the worldwide outsourcing business.
