The Executive Secretary, Nigerian Export Promotion Council, Mr Segun Awolowo, says the Federal Government is committed to increasing the total value and volume of non-oil exports.
Awolowo, represented by Mr Christian Elekwa, NEPC North-Central Regional Coordinator, stated this on Thursday in Minna at a sensitisation workshop on the implementation of the SheTrades Commonwealth Project in Nigeria.
According to Awolowo, the present economic realities in the country has made it necessary to diversify the economy from its sole dependence on oil.
He said that the NEPC was focused on providing support services to exporters in the value chain of products like cashew, cassava, shea butter, sesame seeds, yam and palm oil.
“NEPC is repositioned and strategically focused to provide the needed export support services to all exporters and operators in the value chain of those game-changing products like cashew, cassava and shea butter.
“The zero-oil plan and the one-state-product strategy already incorporated in the National Economic Recovery and Growth Plan are geared towards creating employment for our youths.
“They are also targeted at boosting Nigeria’s foreign exchange. Our offices are always open to assist and collaborate with all stakeholders in this regard,’’ he said.
