  "summary": "ProvidusUnity Bank hosted over 200 exporters, industry associations, and government institutions at its fifth Non-Oil Export Business Forum in Kano, with the aim of enhancing export competitiveness and unlocking opportunities for Nigerian businesses in international markets. The forum, themed \"Driving Export Competitiveness, Trade Facilitation and Economic Facilitation,\" brought together stakeholders across the export value chain to discuss challenges, share global best practices, and explore practical solutions for growing Nigeria’s non-oil exports. With non-oil exports reaching a record $6.1 billion in 2025, an 11.5% increase from 2024, and export volumes expanding to 8.02 million metric tonnes, the sector shows promise, but there remain opportunities to deepen local processing, improve access to trade finance, strengthen compliance with international standards, and expand market access.",
