People argue that the Nigerian consultants don't have the requisite experience.Even if that is the case,how will they get it if you continue every time to shun them and you prefer foreign consultants? These fore consultants got to where they got to because they were given the opportunity from their country,'' the Minister said.He said once the policy is active,government ministries and agencies will begin to involve consultants like PR-CAN in their programmes.
