The
agency, however, lamented that the country is not among the top ten exporters
of gemstone in Africa despite that it has enormous potential in about 34
different mineral items.
The
executive director, NEPC, Olusegun
Awolowo, disclosed this in Ilorin, Kwara state at a-one day workshop with
the theme ‘harnessing the export potential of gold using the appropriate
techniques to attain global competitiveness’ for gold miners, processors and
exporters. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
Awolowo,
who was represented by the deputy director, Production, Samuel Oyeyipo, added that the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan
(ERGP) and the 2017 annual budget clearly recognised the enormous potential of
solid mineral sector and the capability of Nigeria generating at least N5
trillion annually from mining and exportation of Nigeria’s solid mineral.
He
said that NEPC would continue to collaborate with the Ministry of Mines and
Steel Development by aligning itself with the ‘road map for the growth and
development of the Nigerian mining industry’ as approved in 2016. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
He
said: “Available record shows that Nigeria earned N62.2
billion from the solid minerals sector in 2015, an increase of 24 percent on
the N55.8 billion earned from the sector in 2014, based on yearly report of
Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI).
“Similarly, according to figures published by the International
Trade Centre (ITC), Geneva, in 2015, world gemstone export was put at $132.6
billion, out of which African countries exported $11.3 billion worth of
gemstones. The top ten leading African exporters were Botswana, South Africa,
Angola, Lesotho, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zimbabwe, Sierra Lone, Mauritius,
Namibia and Tanzania. Regrettably, as listed above, Nigeria is not among the
top ten.” (Leadership)
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
