The Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) has reported that Nigeria recorded non-oil export earnings of $4.82 billion in 2022.
Executive director/chief executive officer, Ezra (CEO), l, revealed this while presenting the 2022 non-oil export performance to journalists in Abuja on Friday.
Yakusak said the figure represented a 39.91 percent increase compared to 2021 when non-oil exports totalled $3.45 billion and that the figure is based on data collated from various pre-shipment inspection agents appointed by the federal government under the Pre-shipment Inspection Act, 2004.
Yakusak described it was the best yearly result since the NEPC was established 47 years ago.
He said the latest results lend credence to the fact that various export intervention programmes initiated and implemented by the council and other sister organisations gradually yielded desirable results throughout the year under consideration.
