The report further indicated that data from the Central Bank of Nigeria showed that the United Kingdom remained the largest source of inward remittances to Nigeria in 2023, contributing $12.38 billion, down from $12.76 billion in 2022.
It also showed that the United States of America recorded the highest outward remittance flow at $13.12 million in 2022.
Regarding employment trends, data from the National Electronic Labour Exchange showed that private-sector job advertisements increased from 90 in 2021 to 104 in 2022 and 150 in 2023.
The report noted a corresponding rise in the number of employers registered on the platform, though no federal government jobs were advertised during the period under review.
