NEPC Unveils Ambitious Corporate Strategy to Boost Non-Oil Exports
By Patience Ikpeme
In a bid to enhance Nigeria’s non-oil export sector and foster an export-oriented culture, the Nigeria Export Promotion Council (NEPC) is poised to reveal its new corporate strategy.
This strategic move aligns with the industrial revitalization plan of the Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Investment and echoes the Hope Agenda of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration.
The high-profile retreat, currently underway at the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON), Badagry, Lagos, sees top NEPC management engaging in comprehensive discussions.
Participants, including experts from the Organised Private Sector (OPS), trade specialists, and commodity associations, are set to receive and evaluate status reports presented by department heads and NEPC Regional Coordinators.
According to Nonye Ayeni, the Executive Director/CEO of NEPC, the retreat serves as a pivotal platform for the management to scrutinize past operational activities, establish targets, and pave a new path to amplify exports, in alignment with the current administration’s economic agenda.
Ayeni revealed that this year’s retreat will focus on reviewing the NEPC Medium Term Corporate Strategy (2019 – 2023), which expired in December 2023. Additionally, the participants will deliberate on the 2024 Annual Work plan for implementing the Council’s renewed Corporate Strategy.
The retreat, themed “Repositioning the Non-oil Export Sector: Operation Double Your Exports,” aims to bolster the formulation of effective strategies, develop action plans, and instill a sense of commitment among management and employees. This strategic initiative is poised to create a roadmap aimed at optimizing the operational efficiency of the Nigeria Export Promotion Council.
