Niger Delta Development
Commission (NDDC) and NEXIM Bank are perfecting plans on
releasing N2.5 billion to develop export trade in Nigeria. This was announced
by the NDDC Managing Director, Nsima
Ekere, when a delegation from the NEXIM Bank paid him a courtesy visit at
the Commission’s headquarters in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
This
N2.5 billion fund will only be made available to experts in export trade. For
you to get a share of this money, you must develop yourself on export
operations, export management, documentation on the best method of payment in
export trade. Click on the link below to have access to the best manual that

Ekere
said that the NDDC, as an interventionist agency, needed to leverage on NEXIM
Bank to tackle the challenges of creating jobs and building sustainable
development programmes. He decried a situation where youths of the Niger Delta
were often left without hope, stating: “We need to give
the youths hope through providing opportunities for them,” he said.
The
NDDC Chief Executive Officer said that the Commission had built a lot of
infrastructure but must also develop the human capital in the region. “That is why we are going to partner with NEXIM Bank to
develop a regional export market which provides new opportunities for our
people,” he said.
Ekere
noted that the Niger Delta region had over the years provided a greater
percentage of the revenue sustaining the country. He added: “There is no better place than the Niger Delta to prepare for
the diversification of the country’s economy. Now that revenue from oil has
started dwindling, this is the right time to begin to create opportunities for
the people in the non-oil sector.”
He
assured that the NDDC would set up a technical team to work out the modalities
for setting up hubs for regional exports in the Niger Delta. He said: “The region is blessed with a lot of agricultural products
that can be developed for export. We have rubber, palm oil, cashew nuts,
shrimps that can be developed to keep the youths gainfully employed as well as
generating foreign exchange for the country.”
Ekere
declared: “We are now doing things differently by using
the 4-R initiative to add value to the process of the Commission. Through the
new initiative, we have structured our processes to make them transparent.
Hence, we are restructuring the balance sheet; reforming the governance
protocols; restoring the Commission’s core mandate and reaffirming its
commitment to doing what is right and proper.”
He
said that the Commission had entered into agreements with several international
and local partners, noting that the collaboration with NEXIM Bank would be an
addition to the existing ones. The executive Director, Business Development of
NEXIM Bank, Hon Stella Okotete, stressed the
important of building a platform for viable export markets for the Niger delta
region, adding that there was need to create awareness for a regional export
initiative. (Guardian)
Have
you heard this? Many Nigerian exporters have been defrauded of huge amount of
money in the process of exporting commodities to foreign countries. Do you know
why? They were not trained on export operations, management, documentations and
the best methods of payment in export trade. This is terrible!!! Nigerians
cannot continue to lose money to foreigners in the course of export business.
Exporters, why don’t you get a practical manual that teaches the stages of
export trade from processing and packaging of commodities to receipt of payment
by the foreign buyers. It teaches export operations, export management, export
documentations and methods of payment in export trade? It is a contemporary
step-by-step guide to export trade. It tells all the contemporary dynamics in
export trade. To get it, click on the link below:
