Values and Ethics
Our Guiding Principles

Values & Ethics

We aspire to build a services-export ecosystem that is credible, responsible, and built for long-term value through:

Learning and Knowledge Exchange

The global services economy is constantly evolving. NATEP prioritises continuous learning, reflection, and improvement to remain effective in a changing environment. We actively seek new challenges, draw from international best practice, and promote the open exchange of knowledge across institutions and partners.

Credibility by Design

All market engagement is grounded in evidence, clear standards, and verifiable information. We place utmost emphasis on Nigeria’s talent and services being represented accurately and consistently, aligned with international expectations for quality, compliance, and delivery.

Responsible Access to Opportunity

NATEP supports services-export growth that advances fair and dignified work, transparent pathways for talent, and responsible participation in global markets. Export-linked opportunities are expected to meet baseline requirements for quality, accountability, and workforce protection.

Public Stewardship

As a federal programme, NATEP operates in the service of the public interest. Decisions are guided by national priorities, long-term economic value, and measurable outcomes. We uphold impartiality, transparency, and strict standards of conduct, with no tolerance for conflicts of interest or misrepresentation.

Leading Change with Purpose

NATEP responds proactively to shifts in technology, markets, and delivery models. We lead change by aligning institutions, modernising coordination systems, and enabling stakeholders to adapt effectively to global demand.
