Lagos to partner export commodities brokers on standardisation of export processes.
Honourable Commissioner for Commerce, Industry and Cooperatives in Lagos, Hon. (Dr) Mrs. Lola Akande has expressed the desire of Lagos State Government to partner the Chartered Institute of Export and Commodities Brokers of Nigeria on the process of standardising exportation of commodities in Nigeria during a courtesy visit by the Institute to the Ministry on Tuesday, 25th April, 2023.
Represented by the Permanent Secretary, Mrs. Adetutu Oluremi Ososanya, FCA, Akande stated that, regulating export processes is a laudable initiative and the Ministry is willing to work with the Institute to discuss strategies on how to simplify and standardise the exportation of commodities in Nigeria. Such, she said, will increase sales and profits of entrepreneurs as well as boost the revenue of the government.
The President of the Institute, Dr. Ayobami Omotosho stressed the need for a robust regulatory framework that will streamline and enable exporters to easily navigate the export process and promote the commodities of the MSMEs, as he highlighted the importance of building the capacity of exporters and providing them with access to finance and markets.
