Overview
Recent developments in the global market occasioned by COVID-19 and volatilities in the oil sector have heightened the need for Nigeria to diversify its economy away from oil. Exports help improve foreign exchange earnings, create employment opportunities, engender wealth creation and sustainable poverty reduction.
