Experts in non-oil export drive say Nigeria can survive without oil. A top official of the Nigeria Export Promotions Council (NEPC), Ganiyu Ahmid, who just resumed in Port Harcourt as the new Regional Coordinator for South-South, said the drive toward this realisation has already kicked off.

NEPC has realized that it is possible for Nigeria to survive without oil and has moved to mobilise almost all Nigerians to join non-export business, saying it can be done.

He said the realization has led to the fact that wherever NEPC is carrying out any programme, they push the slogan, Export4Survival, saying they want all hands to be on export deck to create an export-based non-oil economy.

On what the NEPC and the FG want achieve with the slogan, Ahmid said: “When we talk of Export4Survival, we do so realizing that we all know that in Nigeria today, everything is about oil. It is like without oil, we cannot survive. But, it should not be so. Yes, we must keep doing what w are doing in oil and even more, but time has come to join non-oil exporting countries to fight for Nigeria’s share of the market.

“I want to tell you that without oil, we will survive. In fact, the in-thing in the world today is non-oil export because you find that apart from some four countries in the top bracket, 20 others are basically dependent on non-oil oil export. If you look around, you will see that they are doing very well.”

He said this informs the reason why the NEPC launched the ‘Export4Survival’ scheme so that Nigerians can key into this philosophy.”

He said the major plank of the scheme is for NEPC to look at states where they have comparative advantage in some products which they can be encouraged to develop and export. “That is why NEPC is promoting Export4Survival so people will know and contribute their quota to the GDP of the country. As at last year ending, Nigeria recorded $4.8Bn export value.”

On this, the expert wants the thinking of Nigerians to tilt toward non-oil because he believes that without oil Nigeria can survive.

On this, the expert wants the thinking of Nigerians to tilt toward non-oil because he believes that without oil Nigeria can survive.

“Without oil, Nigeria can survive. The only thing to do now is to do it right. That is why NEPC is organizing this programme: packaging and branding for export. The essence is that whatever Nigerians are sending out of the country, with good packaging and good quality, it will enter the international market.”

On worries expressed by many stakeholders about lukewarm attitude of most governors in pushing for non-oil export business, Ahmid said NEPC has been pressing the state governments to partner on the scheme. “That is one of the reasons we have our offices in all the 36 states of Nigeria apart from the headquarters in the FCT Abuja.”

He said apart from Bayelsa and one other state in the north-east yet to get an office, he said all states have the presence of NEPC so the state governments can work out collaborations to push products of their comparative advantage.

He said efforts are at advanced states to open an office in Bayelsa. “We are in touch with the relevant authorities to enable us open an office there so they can key into export drive. That is why some of them are in this programme today so they too can join the FG initiative.”

The new regional boss urged Nigerians to push hard in non-oil export. “I want Nigerians to think outside the box now that without oil, we can survive, we can do better. Nigeria can do better.

“With what I have seen now and from the products these SMEs have brought in, we can export them out. It just needs some retouching here and there. With some adjustments, they are good to go.”

There are huge opportunity in the export as some of our products around us are exportable to foreign countries. Look inwards and do your due diligence.

International or Export trade is one of the most scalable and profitable businesses in the world because commodity trading will forever be carried out between two businesses located in two different countries around the world at a certain price, procedure, quality requirement, and more, where once the first shipment is successful, the importer usually requests that the exporter continues shipping the same commodity to them monthly for a year, 3 years, 5 years, or even for life.

Diversification

Export plays more role and offers more opportunities. Different international markets offer different opportunities to companies that have invested in the export business. The diverse markets out there have different levels of demand for specific products. For example, a company that invests in the manufacture of plastics can get expanded markets for different kinds of plastics in different parts of the world. This diversification rakes in more sales.

According to statistics, the most popular non-oil products, which are exported from Nigeria are cocoa, cassava, rubber, wool, cotton, palm oil, wood logs (Iroko or Mahogany) groundnut oil, cashew, garlic, and other products. Nigeria mainly exports goods to Europe and Asia.

Knowing what business or not to start up in Nigeria is key to determining how successful your foray into entrepreneurship may be. You’re usually adviced by many to start different types businesses, but while you ask for advice from so many people on what is the most profitable business to start up in Nigeria, extremely few people give a certain answer because they genuinely do not know, nor are they sure.

Having started, failed, and succeeded at various ventures, one business has stood out completely from the rest, and has gone on to prove itself to not just to be more profitable than what most people think, but has also shown that a proper management of the venture can quadruple the startup capital in anywhere from three to six months.

That said, the most profitable business in Nigeria is the export business. It also has the potential to place one on a fortune map exporting agricultural commodities as sesame seed, charcoal, Sheabutter, garlic, ginger, palm kernel nut, cashew nut etc.

As Nigeria's currency, the Naira, continues to depreciate, don't you think it's time to start a Mini foodstuff Exportation Business in Nigeria? Did you know that earning in foreign currencies will put you ahead of the current Naira's lower purchasing power? While others are whining, you will be smiling.
In a nutshell, I'd like to show you a way to make good, legitimate money in foreign currencies through a mini foodstuff Exportation business (and major exportation, if you can).
God provides for the birds, but not in their nests; you can pray and faint, but unless you get up and go to take advantage of an opportunity or sell something, God will not put money in your lap.
