  • “We are therefore embarking on a massive sensitisation and renewed partnerships with the private and public sector, not just at the national level but also at the sub-national level,’’ he said.

The export week: He noted that export week will be implemented through a series of engagements with key stakeholders within the exporting community and indeed the general public.

  • “Only recently, precisely on April 26 and 27, 2022, the Council held its maiden National Conference on Non-oil Export with the theme “Export for Survival: Optimising Nigeria’s Non-Oil Export Potentials”.
  • “The conference provided a veritable platform for stakeholders in the non-oil export sector to ventilate ideas on current and emerging issues affecting the non-oil export sector. In this wise, Export Week is a continuation of that engagement with critical stakeholders and discerning members of the public.”

He added that the objective is to keep the “Export4Survival” campaign on the front burner of national discourse using the Export Week as a strategic information and communication tool to change the narratives, citing that the Export Week will help entrepreneurs particularly Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) lookout for new opportunities in the sector.

There would also be a launch of the “Export4Survival” Campaign by the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo and a symposium with the theme “Strengthening the Non-Oil Export Sector for National Development”.
