The Vice President, Kasim Shettima, says the quality of engineering education would help promote indigenous technology. He spoke on Tuesday at a forum organised by the Nigerian Academy of Engineering in Abuja. According to him, with the increasing urbanisation in Nigeria, 70 per cent of the Nigerian population will be in cities by 2050.

The VP, represented by his adviser on power infrastructure, Dr Sadiq Wanka, stressed that Nigeria could use its growing population to tap into the opportunities in the $360 million global outsourcing market. 'We also find ourselves facing rapid urbanization in the country, as estimates suggest that by 2050, 70 per cent of the Nigerian population will be living in cities.

'Earlier this year, in line with Mr. President's commitment to job creation, I launched the Outsource to Nigeria Initiative, which seeks to position Nigeria as a global outsourcing hub and tap into a $360 billion global outsourcing market,' he said.
