The Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) on Thursday in Jos stressed the need for exporters to be trained on ways to effectively export their products.
Mr Christian Elekwa, the Regional Coordinator, North Central Office of the council, said this at a one-day clinic to train newly registered exporters in Plateau State on export trade.
Elekwa said the clinic would avail the newly registered exporters the opportunity to acquire more knowledge on export trade.
“This workshop is necessitated by our observation that majority of the newly registered exporters are not aware of our programmes and activities that are meant to assist them in their export business.

“This development impacts negatively on their export because information gap have hindered many companies from exporting their products.
“It is in the light of the foregoing that we organise this programme from time to time for newly registered exporters with a view of educating and enlightening them on our activities,
“This will also improve their knowledge and it will induct them into export trade,” he said.
The coordinator expressed optimism that the programme would impact positively on the participants and would make them conversant with the dynamics of export trade.
The training was titled: “Understanding Export Trade”. (NAN)
