The Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC),
has called for trade facilitation and single-window for Nigerian exporters.
This was made known by the Director General and Chief Executive Officer of NEPC,
Olusegun Awolowo, during the
inauguration of the Nigerian-UN/CEFACT
trade facilitation committee in Lagos on a few days ago.
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. To get it, click on this link: http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
Awolowo
said the single window for exports would open up opportunities for Nigeria by
increasing benefits from international trade and contributing to economic
growth.
He
said, “Establishing a single window for exports has
been an ongoing discussion in Nigeria for quite some time. Despite its numerous
benefits in addressing efficiency, the evident hope among policymakers, and the
strong desire of exporters, it has remained a major challenge in the trade
facilitation agenda of the country.
“It is a key instrument for creating a more conducive trading
environment, considering how procedures and controls governing the movement of
goods across national borders can be improved to reduce associated cost burdens
and maximise efficiency while safeguarding legitimate objectives.”

Awolowo
added that the inauguration of the Nigerian-UN/CEFACT trade facilitation
committee marks a turning point in the country’s quest to re-establish a
collaboration between the public and organised private sector.
During
his speech, the Group Chairman, Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, Export
Promotion Group, Chief Ede Dafinone,
urged the Federal Government to reopen the borders for genuine businesses to
thrive.
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.

In Dafinone’s
own word, “For us as exporters, the more simplification
we can have in the process of export, the easier it will be to get our goods
across to our customers on the West African coast, Europe and America.
“The single window follows on the lines of the government of ease of
doing business. The government is trying to simplify the business processes
surrounding export in order to encourage exporters and also to encourage
non-oil export so we diversify our economy. We were told the borders would be
closed initially for a month and later three months and now we are not sure
when it would be reopened.”
He
said the organised private sector would continue to urge the Federal Government
to open the borders for genuine exports. “We sympathise
with the government and understand the problems they have with the influx of
illegally imported items but there are still a lot of manufacturers within our
membership that are genuine exporters,” he said. (Punch)
