Federal Executive Council bars foreign professionals from practising in Nigeria unless certified by regulatory bodies

 

    Federal Executive Council, FEC, has approved a new policy that bars foreign professionals from practising in Nigeria unless they were registered and certified by all the necessary regulatory bodies.

   This is even as the Federal Government has declared a state of emergency on science and technology to boost technological acquisition for the industrial growth of the country. FEC also approved tax rebate to attract foreign industries that should serve as an incentive for pioneer industries operating in Nigeria.

   Briefing newsmen after the weekly FEC meeting at the Council Chamber, Presidential Villa, Abuja, Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Okechukwu Enelama, said government had approved tax rebate for pioneer industries to establish in the country, noting that the policy was to serve as an incentive to attract new investors.
