This
was made known by the Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer of NEPC, Mr. Olusegun Awolowo, at the graduation
of participants of the zero-to-export
training programme held recently in Abuja.
Fellow
Nigerians, are you aware that our crude oil will soon become useless? Yes, it
will, in no distant time, become valueless owing to the fact that the countries
that rely on it as their only source of energy are developing more affordable
alternative sources of energy. When this finally happens, what will we do? How
are we currently preparing for this imminent economic doom? Which other sector
will continue to stabilize our economy? Nigerians, the only solution is
developing the agricultural sector. In fact, this is the only solution. Very
soon, the major source of revenue will become agriculture and agro-exports. How
are you positioning yourself to play big in agro-export business? Why don’t you
get a practical manual that explains the stages of export trade from processing
and packaging of commodities to receipt of payment by the foreign buyers? Yes,
arm yourself with the contemporary trends in export trade. This manual explains
export operations, export management, export documentations and methods of
payment in export trade? Yes, it is a contemporary step-by-step guide to export
trade. It tells all the contemporary dynamics in export trade. To get it, click

Business Review gathered
that the zero-to-export initiative is one of the programmes of the NEPC that
focuses on creating a new generation of Nigerian exporters through the training
of business executives, bankers, civil servants and unemployed graduates, among
others in export business.
The
programme is anchored on a public-private partnership arrangement with support
from Deposit Money Banks, the Bank of Industry and the Nigerian Export-Import
Bank. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
Awolowo,
while speaking at the event, made it clear that the failure of the country to
diversify the economy over the years had led to several economic alterations,
adding that the zero-oil plan was one of the programmes of government pointed
towards correcting this imbalance.
He
described the zero-oil plan as one of the practical steps of the Federal
Government to realistically diversify the Nigerian economy away from oil. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
Awolowo
told the graduands that already, the plan had been approved by the Federal
Executive Council, adding that a committee under the chairmanship of the
Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Badaru
Abubakar, had been set up for its effective implementation.
He
said, “The zero-to-export programme is aimed at
achieving specific objectives, which include development of new exporters from
zero knowledge to a point of export readiness, equipping exporters using
practical hand holding approach, field training and mentorship to building a
new crop of indigenous exporters. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html The council’s
zero-oil plan is the flagship programme aimed at mobilising public and private
resources towards replacing oil as the number one source of foreign exchange. The
programme equally has a vision of growing non-oil exports from $1.2bn in 2016
to $8bn in 2019 and eventually $25bn by 2025.”
The
NEPC boss said the Federal Government was committed to the development of the
non-oil export sector as the last defence of the economy. He expressed optimism
that the performance of the graduands in the area of export business would
serve as a guide to the council whether to continue with the programme or drop
it. “This is the major reason why we are serious about
full participation of the programme,” he said.
