Nigeria’s non-oil exports rose to $3.225 billion in the first half of 2025, representing a 19.59 per cent increase over the $2.696bn recorded in the same period of 2024, according to the Nigerian Export Promotion Council.
The Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer of NEPC, Nonye Ayeni, disclosed the figures in Abuja on Sunday while presenting the council’s First Half-Year Progress Report on the country’s non-oil export performance.
She said shipment volumes also grew to 4.04 million metric tonnes from 3.83 million metric tonnes in the first half of 2024, buoyed by rising global demand for Nigerian products from India, Brazil, Vietnam and other African countries.
