A Certified International Trade Professional and Managing Director/CEO Koinonia Ventures Limited, Olufemi Boyede, has stressed that economy diversification in Nigeria is possible as long as the government creates the enabling environment.
Boyede made this observation during a press conference in Lagos announcing a one-day workshop on non-oil export billed for Sheraton Hotel, Lagos on March 16.
The Trade expert, who has been a great player in the non-oil export industry for close to three decades said what the country needs to do is to begin to explore the over 5000 exportable products in its kitty.
He said: “the 5000 products I am talking about is not my invention. It is the result of a research carried out by Nigeria Export Promotion Council about 10 years ago.”
According to him, the council recently under its new zero oil plan, had also enumerated 21 products, which it believes if adequately developed and promoted can immediately replace oil as Nigeria’s leading revenue.
