The Nigerian Export Promotion Council has announced a remarkable 20.79 per cent increase in the value of the country’s non-oil exports, reaching a total of $5.456bn in 2024.

It stated that the amount surpassed the $4.5bn generated in 2023.

The Executive Director of the Nigerian Export Promotion Council, Nonye Ayeni, disclosed the figures while addressing the media on the performance report of the non-oil export sector for 2024 on Friday in Abuja.

She said the significant growth reflects the resilience and diversification of Nigeria’s export sector beyond crude oil, a shift aimed at reducing the country’s reliance on oil revenue.

According to her, the surge in non-oil exports was driven by increased economic activity in the agriculture, manufacturing, and solid minerals sectors.

She noted that the growth was largely propelled by the expansion of agricultural exports, including cocoa seeds, cocoa butter, sesame seeds, and cashew nuts, alongside a rise in the export of urea and manufactured goods.

She said, “Despite economic challenges and the global downturn, the Council, through collaborations with relevant agencies and institutions, has contributed to economic diversification, achieving an impressive non-oil export performance of $5.456bn in 2024. This represents a significant 20.79 per cent increase compared to the $4.517bn recorded in 2023.

“This achievement can be attributed to the active diversification of the economy through the non-oil sector, with a focus on promoting agriculture, solid minerals, and manufacturing.

“It also reflects the positive impact of the federal government’s efforts to enhance trade through effective fiscal and financial policy implementation.”

World Bank offers Nigeria forex rate advice, as Tinubu eyes N200/Dollar rate[

April 23, 2023

The President-elect said he would work with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to *bring down the exchange rate to N200 in his first term.*

“My administration will collaborate with the Central Bank to harmonize the fiscal and monetary policy to achieve immediate stabilization of the value of the naira against the US dollars and other currencies and in the short term, strengthen the naira by boosting the supply of foreign currency and moderating demand.

“The short-term goal is to achieve a naira/dollar rate of 300 naira/US$ and gradually achieve a less than 200 naira rate over the next four years, Tinubu stated.

Non oil Exports being talked about are only a small percentage of forex earners. The main forex earner should be remittances.

A lot of hungry and angry people will never agree with you on this. But, I must say for the record that for the first time in a life time in a long while,we can see policies that are beginning to yield positive results.
