According to the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC),
there is an upwelling in the registration of exporters in the North-East.
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 development was made known
by the North East, regional coordinator, Nigerian Export Promotion Council, John Okorie, at a sensitization
workshop organized for exporters on the legal aspects of packaging for export.
Okorie said that even though
there was enormous potential in the North-East for the export of some products,
harnessing produces for export had been hampered by insurgency.
The council which also linked
zero export from the North-East to insurgency noted that most exporters out of
the region preferred to use Lagos and Kano for exporting their goods overseas.
In Okorie’s own words, “Insurgency is a key, a major factor to the lack of export
from the region. People no longer go to the farms; people no longer sit at home
to do what they are actually supposed to do.
“But as the insurgency
is brought under control and awareness is being created, I believe we are going
to export from here.”
The NEPC North East coordinator added
that with restoration of peace to the troubled region and sensitization
embarked by the NEPC, the council was now witnessing a surge in registration of
exporters from the North-East.
Ben Achor and Julie Onmoke, both
from the legal unit of the NEPC, who spoke on legal issues involved in
packaging, for export, said one major issue Nigerian exporters, have had over
the years, was the challenge of packaging product to meet international standards.
They said the product sold in
Nigeria usually wouldn’t sell in the international market simply because of
packaging and urged exporters to pay very serious attention to the design and
packaging of their products.
