LAGOS (AFP) - Nigeria last week sent 26 nurses to Jamaica under its Technical Aids Corp (TAC) scheme which aims to help black nations that lack professionals in key fields, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported.

The nurses are expected to enhance that country's immunization drive and help in accident, surgical and community health care services, NAN said, quoting an official TAC statement.

Jamaican Health Minister Horace Dalley said that the health professionals from Nigeria would help ease Jamaica's shortage of nurses, NAN quoted the statement as saying.

He commended Nigeria's deployment of skilled personnel to assist needy African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) nations.

Nigeria launched the TAC programme about 20 years ago as part of its foreign relations policy. Under the scheme, TAC volunteers are posted to needy ACP countries for a two-year period
