Qatar on Friday invited Nigerians to take advantage of several opportunities in all fields including oil and gas ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup slated to begin in the Middle East nation in November, IgbereTV reports
The quadrennial soccer showpiece will take place in Qatar from November 20 to December 18.
The Chargé d’Affaires of the Embassy of Qatar in Nigeria, Mr. Ahmad Al-Horr, stated this when he visited the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, in Abuja.
He said the Qatari government was interested in collaboration with its Nigerian counterpart on the migration of workers due largely to the limited number of Nigerians working in the Gulf State.
The embassy official stressed that the country cared about workers’ protection for engineers, doctors and other professionals.
Al-Horr said: “We are processing the bilateral agreement between the Government of Nigeria and the Government of Qatar on the regulation of employment of Nigerian migrant workers in the State of Qatar.
“We need a relationship with the labour ministry because the number of Nigerian workers in Qatar is limited. We want more Nigerian workers in our country
