The Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) and National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) have agreed to collaborate on training students in non-oil exports and establishing export hubs at tertiary institutions across Nigeria's six geopolitical zones. NEPC's Chief Executive Officer, Mrs. Nonye Ayeni, emphasized the importance of Nigerian youths in the non-oil export sector, as they represent a significant portion of the population and possess vibrant entrepreneurial skills.
NANS Secretary-General, Oladimeji Uthman Fodio, highlighted the need for practical skills to help undergraduates participate in the export value chain and prepare for global market opportunities before graduation. The partnership aims to equip Nigerian students with export development and promotion skills, as well as establish Export Hubs on campuses to provide training, mentorship, and technical guidance.
A national summit, "Students Export & Entrepreneurship Initiative – From Campus to Global Market," will focus on six key pillars to create a direct pathway between Nigerian campuses and international markets.
