The Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) in partnership with stakeholders in the export business are set to redevelop strategies to carry out effective implementation of marketing activities in specific areas in the exportation of locally made goods.
The National Export Strategy Document had earlier been launched in 2005 and had recorded some appreciable success in its implementation. With the transformation agenda of President Goodluck Jonathan the council came up a new way to redevelop and initiate this strategy.
The strategy is in realization of the pivotal role of the service in the diversification of Nigeria export base, foreign exchange generation potential, creation of employment and incomes also informed the council’s initiative in this direction.
The Executive Director/CEO David Adulugba gave this charge during the weekend at the National Strategy for the Export of Professional Services in Abuja, stating that the marketing activities and enabling requirements must be specific in order to be effective.
He said, “The council will serve as the implementing agency spearheading as well as generating the necessary support and securing partnerships among the stakeholders in each area to take the strategic plan forward. We will ensure the use of capability and expertise of various stakeholders in order to achieve maximum success.
“The council will also endeavor to work closely with existing agencies and private sector providers, charging them with activities where they have capacity and acting as resources where they do not.
“This approach we believe will strike a balance between providing an oversight structures to ensure accountability and leverage existing capability. In order to avoid the mistake of the past, we intend to explore funding options.
“We will also create an internal team dedicated to implementing the strategy to ensure that the actions laid out for each area take place within a structured framework that can provide coordination, support where required and ensure that accountability exists.
“The development framework appreciates the fact that Nigeria has made some headway in the exports of entertainment services (film and music) financial services (mainly commercial banking) education (Knowledge –based professional services) and to a lesser extent ICT.
“It will increase export revenues, develop new services, businesses and jobs at home. The country is focusing on four sectors which are information and communication, financial services, educational services and entertainment,” he stressed.
The Executive Director expressed appreciation to the Commonwealth Secretariat in assisting other member states in formulating their own services sector export strategy as NEPC also requested the formulation of a service export sector strategy for Nigeria.
