The Managing Director, and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Export Promotion Council, Ezra Yakusak, says the non-oil sector has contributed over two billion dollars to the Nigerian economy in the first six months of the year 2022.
Mr. Yakusak says the various non-oil products that were exported within the period stood at $2.593b as against the sum of $1.597b in the first six months of the year 2021 representing a 64.23% increase.
He says the 2021 figure was also an increase to the first six months of the year 2020 which was $981.442 million.
He says the uncertainties in the crude oil market have caused serious contractions in government revenue from oil with great consequences.
He says with the customized sacks, Nigeria onions will be easily identified and distinguished from other countries’ products in the global market.
