The  Director-General, Centre for Management Development (CMD), Dr Kabir Usman  says Nigeria needs very skilled manpower to develop the country’s infrastructure.
Usman said in a statement by CMD consultant, Abdulkadir Ahmed on yesterday in Abuja, that there was a huge gap in the areas of power, agriculture, construction and the like in the country that needed to be filled.

“We provide consultancy services so we can show the way in terms of high quality and the standard of what is expected by consultants to actually practise across the country.
