A CRITICAL APPRAISAL OF THE STRATEGIES OF EXPORTATION OF MADE IN NIGERIA GOODS

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

 

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) was established through Nigeria export promotion Decree NO 26 of 1976, and was formally inaugurated in March, 1977.  This Decree was amended by Decree No 72 of 1979 which introduce some slight changes in the membership of the governing council and formal provision made for the establishment of the secretariat of the council.  Nigerian export promotion Act CAP 306 and Decree No 41 of 1988 amended which resulted in the redefining of its functional responsibilities, thus strengthening it in properly spearheading and sustaining a dynamic export development programme and implementing the various incentives contained in the Export (incentive and miscellaneous provision) Decree No. 18 of 1986.

Before the discovery of oil, the main stay of Nigeria economy was agriculture such as palm oil, cocoa, cotton, groundnut, rubber, palm kernel etc.  which enjoyed encouragement and support in policy implementation accounting for about 80% of Nigerian Total revenue.

In 1965, non-oil export accounted for as much as 76% of Nigerian foreign exchange earning, in 1970 it was 43%, but in 1976, the share of non-oil export falls to 6% and by mid eighties, the sector remain structural imbalance in the economy and thereby had to import some of these products.

However, the discovery of crude-oil since mid seventies increased total export earning from 58% to 98% which is the peak of “oil boom” as crude oil is sold at 40 dollar per barrel and which the worldwide oil glut, price of crude oil drops slightly to 90%.  It is against this background that Nigeria need to re-appraise her strategies in the exportation of non-oil exports.

Export promotion management was adopted early sixties by international trade centres UNCTAD/GAT as strategies for effective enhancement and development of international marketing of export products in developing economic in world trade.

Export promotion is designed also to assist in boosting debt servicing, purchase of basic input and responsible for promoting non-oil export in Nigeria.  It is against these backdrop that the council was established.

Although, it has some success but suffice to say that it is saddled with problems as yet to record excellent compared to its set objectives.
