Non-Oil Export Contributed $2.593billion To Nigeria’s Economy In Six Months

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. <br />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. <br />He says the 2021 figure was also an increase to the first six months of the year 2020 which was $981.442 million. <br />He says the uncertainties in the crude oil market have caused serious contractions in government revenue from oil with great consequences. <br />He says with the customized sacks, Nigeria onions will be easily identified and distinguished from other countries’ products in the global market.
