The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Geoffrey Onyeama on Saturday lamented the rejection of Nigerian exports by other countries.


Mr Onyeama was speaking at a meeting in Abuja with the Executive Director of the Nigerian Export Promotion Council, Olusegun Awolowo.

According to the Minister, the quality of products, especially agricultural products, do not meet the export standards of many countries.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a comparative and unique advantage to be physically present in over a 100 countries in the world,” he said.

“Now this represents truly a unique opportunity to leverage on that presence to export and trade our goods.

“There are a number of countries around the world not blessed with the natural resources that we have but yet, through trade, have transformed their societies and have become major economic powers.

“In engaging with a number of countries, we have seen that, especially in the agriculture sector, the phytosanitary aspect is very important.

“We are being denied market access into a lot of countries because of the quality of the products. And this is costing us huge resources. So I think that your agency (NEPC) also has a lot of work to do.”

Mr Onyeama added the Federal Government will focus on strengthening economic diplomacy in ensuring Nigeria benefits from countries it has formal relationships with.

On his part, NEPC chief Mr Awolowo expressed confidence that the Federal Government’s efforts will lead to the agency’s realisation of $30 billion from non-oil export by 2025.

When un educated goes into agriculture they tend to loose everything
Imagine eating cucumber with a bitter taste because of excess application of fertilizer

RIP English
This one is the dullest of the zone-bees that there is.

Nigerians should have food to eat first before aiming to export any surplus.

Na there you go fear fear.

The food is not enough for local consumption

When we have agric scientists, agric economists, agronomists looking for job all over the place. Some are in the banks, done are selling Hair, make up, clothes and make up on IG.

Why not engage these graduates in their communities to teach farmers best practices?

Nigeria should not be exporting agricultural products.

] But we export beer to the UK

] But we export beer to the UK ,

Trade and access t market is always political


Do not be deceived
Nigeria should reciprocate and reduce imports in the long term

It's because Buhari is not healthy

May be that is why God is making them reject Nigerian foodstuff

Because too many Nigerians have not yet eaten and are very hungry

Nigeria should feed it's Citizens before sending food abroad

It is not all about money

Most times I read his comments and I feel like "an advocate".?

He disgraces that moniker, he makes a fool of it. No good construct, no good collocations. Always gibberish

The way Nigeria depend on industrially manufactured growth boosters to bolster crop growth and development is alarming

Most times, antibiotic residues are even detected in crops that animal dung were used to produce. Crops take them up

Fertilizers are not healthy for human, this is major reason I don't use fertilizers on crops, especially potatoes, instead I leave it to stay additional weeks to add to size

However, I use the ashes from burnt threes and leaves. If there is non, I stick to the aforementioned



Northern foods are unhealthy
Northern foods are really unhealthy and cancerous
