Making this known to reporters in
Abuja, the Chairman of the committee, Professor
Simon Irtwange, said the Act also prohibited the export of yam derivatives.
Hmmm!!! Folks, let
us say the truth and shame the devil. Many Nigerian non-oil products exporters
have been defrauded of huge amount of money in the process of exporting
agricultural commodities and solid minerals 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, would you like to keep on being scammed? 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? It
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.

Irtwange, also the President, National
Association of Yam Farmers, Processors and Marketers, said the committee, in
partnership with other yam stakeholders, met with relevant stakeholders to
ensure that the Act was repealed.
In his words: “Yam
export is still on-going under the government policy on the diversification of
the economy, but in the regulatory framework, we are having issues. The Export
Prohibition Act of 1989 is the issue, but we have made a lot of efforts trying
to advocate to relevant government agencies, ministries and the National
Assembly that if we really want to diversify this economy, that law has to go.
“I think they are working on
it, but if the eighth National Assembly is unable to repeal the law, as soon as
the ninth National Assembly comes, we will begin to engage them from the first
day. As long as that law is there, there are many people who want to come into
the business who are scared.
“Export of yams has not been
suspended because people still carry food products to America hiding under the
guise of taking food items to their relatives there but we are not as
aggressive as we wanted to be. The earlier we put the Act out of the way, the
better for us.’’
The president said the National
Agricultural Seeds Council (NASC) bill would address issues of regulatory and
legal framework for the operations of seed companies, adding that yam farmers
have had issues of the propagation of the produce.
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

The Act, which took effect from
February 1989, stipulates that any person who takes, causes to be taken,
induces any other person to take, or attempts to take out of Nigeria any of the
goods specified, shall be guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to
imprisonment for life. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
The produce, which is absolutely
prohibited by the Act, includes beans, cassava tuber, maize, rice, yam tuber,
all products or derivatives of items from number one to five, all imported food
items. (Nation)
