The Federal Government has announced plans to review the nation’s trade policy in order to develop trade as an alternative source of revenue and reduce the nation’s over dependence on oil.
Speaking in Abuja at an enlarged national focal point meeting, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Trade and Investment, Mr Dauda Kigbu says the last trade policy which was put in place eleven years ago is overdue for review.
He said the new trade policy to be put in place will serve as a basis for rapid, equitable and sustainable growth that will broaden the nation’s product base, encourage non-oil exports and proper use of trade defence mechanisms.
