The top five are Countries are Brazil, China, Japan, India and Netherlands.

“Regrettably, no African country made the top 10 non-oil export destination. We believe that the full implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) will change this Trade trajectory”

Dr. Ezra Yakusak also said that the council was in talks with the Nigerian Universities Commission to Introduction “Export Promotion” as a course of study in Nigerian Universities Curriculum. he noted.

“This intervention is propelled by the need to inculcate basic exporting knowledge and skills to Nigerians in various tertiary institutions. The course when introduced to identified Universities, has the potential of making the young graduands to become employers of labour and therefore self reliant.”
