NASCO Group of companies has finally been granted approval to export 19 products under the ECOWAS Trade Trade Liberalisation Scheme (ETLS). This revelation was made by it’s marketing consultant Mr. Haroun Audu in Jos on Thursday, May 19th 2016.
“We have ECOWAS’ approval to export 19 products; it is a major breakthrough in Nigeria’s search for a favourable balance of trade,” Audu told journalists.
According to Audu, the firm applied for 19 products and all of them met the standards for which NASCO has collected “open-ended certificates from ETLS” to export. He said that the certification, which was NASCO’s first-ever ETLS certificate, had no expiry date.
Audu also noted that most of the products to be exported were household items; cornflakes, frostyz, strawberry, shortcake biscuits, crackers and brytex detergent. While others included Plus lemon dish washing soap and beauty ocean hand wash.
“With this approval, NASCO is free to export the products to West African countries without any hindrance; we expect this development to boost our production capacity and shore up Nigeria’s balance of trade.”
Audu said that the ETLS certification had the advantage of enabling exporters access loans and grants from the Federal Government and other multilateral agencies. He also stated that qualified and certified entities would also enjoy participating in international trade fairs within the sub-region at the government’s expense through the Nigerian Export Promotion Council.
