Nigeria’s non-oil exports surged to $3.225 billion in the first half of 2025, a 19.59% jump from the $2.696 billion recorded in the same period last year, according to the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC).
Executive Director/CEO Nonye Ayeni revealed the figures in Abuja over the weekend while presenting the council’s mid-year progress report. She noted that export volumes also climbed to 4.04 million metric tonnes from 3.83 million metric tonnes in H1 2024, buoyed by strong demand from markets including India, Brazil, Vietnam, and other African nations.
“In the first quarter alone, non-oil exports were valued at $1.791 billion — up 24.75% from $1.436 billion in Q1 2024,” Ayeni said, adding that the growth reflects rising competitiveness of Nigerian goods globally.
The NEPC report also highlighted the council’s achievements, ongoing challenges, and prospects for sustaining the momentum into the year’s second half.
