Nigeria is at a critical juncture in its economic development, with increasing global trade opportunities and a growing demand for diverse, high-quality products. The country has a unique chance to enhance its non-oil export sector and establish itself as a competitive player in the global market.
Despite Nigeria’s total merchandise trade reaching ₦36.6 trillion in Q4 2024, with exports accounting for ₦20 trillion, the dominance of crude oil in this sector is evident. Non-oil exports only contribute a small fraction, highlighting the need for expansion and diversification. With volatile oil prices and declining revenues, the urgency to prioritize and grow Nigeria’s non-oil exports has never been more pressing.
