Export Promotion Council Woos Japanese Investor to Nigeria's SMEs

Lagos, Nigeria - The Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) has embarked on a mission to attract Japanese investors to Nigeria's Small and Medium-Scale Enterprises (SMEs) sector. The Council's delegation, led by its Executive Director, Mr. Segun Awolowo, is currently in Japan to woo investors and promote Nigeria's non-oil exports.

The delegation is scheduled to meet with key Japanese investors, including the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), to discuss opportunities for collaboration and investment in Nigeria's SMEs sector. The Council is seeking to leverage Japan's expertise in technology and innovation to support the growth and development of Nigeria's SMEs.

According to Mr. Awolowo, "Nigeria's SMEs sector is a significant contributor to the country's economy, and we believe that partnering with Japanese investors can help us to scale up our exports and increase our competitiveness in the global market. We are confident that our SMEs have the potential to meet the high standards of Japanese investors and we are eager to explore opportunities for collaboration."

The NEPC delegation will also be meeting with Japanese companies that are already operating in Nigeria to discuss ways of increasing their investments in the country. The Council is also seeking to promote Nigeria's non-oil exports, including agricultural products, solid minerals, and manufactured goods, to Japanese markets.

The visit is part of the NEPC's efforts to diversify Nigeria's economy and reduce its dependence on oil exports. The Council is working to promote Nigeria's SMEs sector and increase the country's non-oil exports to $30 billion by 2025.
