The federal government has launched new trade intelligence tools aimed at helping Nigerian exporters identify and access international markets. The move comes as non-oil exports climb to N12.36 trillion, a figure that signals growing momentum beyond the country's traditional petroleum economy.
The tools are designed to give exporters sharper, data-driven insight into where Nigerian goods can compete globally. Rather than relying on guesswork or outdated networks, businesses will now have access to structured market information to guide their trade decisions.
On the investment side, the government is also tracking $50 billion worth of announced investments, a sign that official attention is firmly on building an economy with broader foundations. Whether those announcements translate into boots-on-the-ground activity is the question every entrepreneur and trade watcher will be asking next.
