Nigeria: Companies not hiring qualified citizens may get sanctioned, says Federal Government
“Every company must submit the details of Nigerians understudying expatriates in their organisations. They must submit the Tax Identification Number, NIN of each Nigerian understudying expatriates in their companies. We have discovered that some of the companies are not sincere; they just want to keep renewing the permits of their expatriates at the detriment of Nigerians. We want to know whether they are circumventing the policy or they adhere to it. Devdiscourse News Desk | Abuja | Updated: 11-01-2021 16:28 IST | Created: 11-01-2021 16:27 IST

The Special Ministerial Task Force on Monitoring and Enforcement of Nigerian Expatriate Business Permit and Expatriate Quota Administration has said the Federal Government will sanction any company that fails to comply with the law guiding the employment of qualified Nigerians to understudy expatriates.
To ensure compliance with the policy, the task force has directed companies in the country to submit the Tax Identification Number, National Identification Numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses of Nigerians understudying expatriates in their firms.
The chairman of the task force, Mr Bola Ilori, said in a statement on Sunday that all companies must submit the details of Nigerians understudying expatriates within their organisations to verify their sincerity or otherwise.
