The Nigerian Export Promotion Council has revealed that the country earned $3.225 billion from non-oil exports in the first six months of 2025, a 19.59% rise from the $2.696 billion recorded in the same period of 2024.
NEPC’s Executive Secretary, Nonye Ayeni, made the disclosure in Abuja, crediting the growth to economic reforms under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and the strategic policy direction of the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole.
She also noted that heightened global demand for Nigerian-made products significantly boosted the sector’s performance.
“I’m glad to inform you that non-oil exports in the first half of 2025 were valued at $3.225 billion, reflecting a 19.59% increase from the $2.696 billion recorded in the same period of 2024,” Ayeni stated.
According to her, export volume surged to 4.404 million metric tonnes, compared to 3.38 million metric tonnes in the first half of 2024. She added that 236 different products, spanning agricultural produce to manufactured goods, were shipped to markets within Africa and other parts of the world during the review period.
“This achievement aligns with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and the policy thrust of Minister Oduwole in transforming the non-oil export sector,” she affirmed.
