Trade and Non-Oil Exports

Non-oil export development is at the heart of the Tinubu administration's plan to diversify Nigeria's economy. The government is helping Nigerian businesses reach external markets and compete globally.

Its programme includes export certification and support for businesses entering foreign markets, building a stronger and more varied productive economy.

Supporting a wider productive economy

The administration's non-oil export agenda serves businesses seeking markets beyond Nigeria's borders. Export certification and trade-support services help Nigerian products meet the standards of overseas buyers and regulators.

Diversification goes beyond government revenue. It means productive firms, reliable supply, strong standards and efficient trade procedures. The National Single Window, which went live in 2026, complements this work by coordinating trade processes across agencies.

Opening routes to external markets

In its Democracy Day 2026 account, the administration highlighted the progress of export certification and support for businesses entering international trade. More Nigerian enterprises now have the credentials and assistance they need to sell abroad.

For exporters, certification opens doors to buyers and markets that demand proven quality. For the nation, a broader export base brings new jobs, stronger industries and more foreign-exchange earnings from beyond oil.

By investing in export readiness and trade facilitation, the Tinubu administration is reducing Nigeria's dependence on a narrow range of exports and building an economy that sells Nigerian goods and services to the world.
