 Nigeria’s Non-Oil Exports Hit Record $6.1bn in 2025 — NEPC


Nigeria’s non-oil export sector recorded its strongest performance yet in 2025, with export earnings rising to an all-time high of about US$6.1 billion, representing an 11.5 per cent increase over the previous year. 

This was disclosed by the Executive Director of the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), Nonye Ayeni, during a press briefing on the performance of non-oil exports and the 2026 outlook  at the Export House, Abuja. 


Ayeni explained that total non-oil export volume rose to 8.02 million metric tonnes in 2025, up from 7.29 million metric tonnes in 2024, with Nigeria exporting 281 non-oil products to 120 countries across the world. The Netherlands, Brazil and India emerged as the top export destinations, while cocoa and its derivatives, urea fertilizer, cashew nuts, sesame seed and solid minerals dominated export earnings. 


She said the achievement reflects the success of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, particularly in diversifying the economy, creating jobs and strengthening Nigeria’s position in global trade.
