SMEs Can Tap Export Opportunities – Expert

An expert, Kola Awe, has advised small- and medium-scale enterprises to leverage Nigeria’s economic opportunities by exporting their products.
Speaking at a one-day seminar, midweek, held in Abeokuta, organised by the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), in conjunction with the Ogun State Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and  Agriculture, Awe noted that SME operators were at advantage.
In his keynote speech, Awe, who’s the Managing Director/CEO of XPT Logistics International Limited, noted that there were various platforms through which small businesses could penetrate international markets.
The former chairman of NACCIMA Export Group added that if Nigeria diversified  her economy, it would favour small businesses in export.
“Basically, the trade fair is one of the platforms that SMEs can use to showcase their goods, and it is very instrumental to the development as marketing strategy for SMEs because of the attractions and the varieties of products that come with trade fairs”, he said.
