Execuve Secretary Lunch 2 About the Network of Practicing Non-Oil Exporters of Nigeria (NPNEN) Background In the course of its advocacy and capacity-enhancement programmes, the Policy Development Facility Program phase 2 (PDFII), a FCDO funded program, had idenfied the absence of a broad- based, virile and effecve community of praconers as one of the weakest components of Nigeria's non-oil value chain. The fragmented nature of the country's non-oil export sector has made it difficult to idenfy the most appropriate body with which to engage or consult when it comes to discussing issues related to the sector. Several sub-groups have developed, purporng to represent the non-oil export sector while, in truth, they only cater for the specific interests of their own membership along the value-chain. The need for an umbrella, credible, independent and private-sector- driven vehicle with broad-based parcipaon and leadership has always been an imperave. NPNEN was birthed from the series of dialogues organized by PDFII for the Non-oil Exporter Community of Pracce. These 'Non-oil Export Dialogues' were aimed at eliminang the various barriers to non-oil exports in Nigeria, with special focus on MSMEs. The dialogue series which focused on bringing stakeholders together, addressed such issues as access to finance, product quality and standards, export procedures and documentaons, among others. Besides bringing the relevant MDAs in dialogue with the private sector actors, the dialogue series also devoted special sessions to building the capacity of non-oil exporters on advocacy so as to enable them to connue to engage with relevant MDAs of government on issues of interest to non-oil exporters. Objectives of NPNEN The core objecve of NPNEN is to be a plaorm for dialogue and cooperaon among actors in the non-oil export value chain in resolving the various challenges faced by non-oil exporters. Some of the specific objecves of the NPNEN are: · To serve as a plaorm for connuous dialogue and cooperaon among the actors in the non- oil export value chain. · To regularly research and deliver to Government, evidence-based suggesons towards improving Nigeria's export performance, since advocacy has become a strategic imperave. · To provide members with up-to-date market informaon and technical assistance on export processes and procedures. · To encourage joint export iniaves among members. · To advocate for the interest of members in government policies and trade 3 Vision To realize increased Nigerian parcipaon in non-oil export trade, with specific aenon to the strategic posioning of members on global compliance and compeon Mission To create a hub of interconnected players in the non-oil export sector, mutually commied to leading advocacy for the creaon of an enabling environment for non-oil export trade and championing collaborave informaon sourcing, informaon sharing, and capacity building amongst members NPNEN Executive Council The Execuve Council of NPNEN is a statutory representaon of prominent trade associaons, pressure groups and key non-oil export supporng instuons. The following organisaons are currently represented on the Execuve Council: 1. Nigerian Associaon of Small-Scale Industrialists (NASSI) 2. Nigerian Associaon of Small & Medium Enterprises (NASME) 3.

I welcome you to the first Annual NPNEN Non-Oil Exporters Conference, Exhibion and Awards (NPNEN-NECEA 2021). You will all agree Gwith me that this conference, and in parcular the theme “rebuilding Nigeria's economy through non-oil exports: A Strategic Imperave, could not be beer med than now as we connue to grapple with the unprecedented health and economic crises brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic exposed the global economy to major disrupons compounding the effects of the global oil price shocks. For a largely oil dependent economy like Nigeria's the crisis has led to a recession, the second within 5 years. Although diversificaon has been a long-conceived ambion of successive administraons in the last four decades or more, it is now me to move from aspiraon to taking decisive steps towards rebuilding this economy on a more solid foundaon beyond oil. Economic diversificaon is no longer an ideal aspiraonal state for the Nigeria economy, but rather an imperave for sustainable economic growth. The pandemic, despite the hardship it brought upon the enre world also opened some windows of opportunies for developing countries like Nigeria to reposion themselves in the global non-oil trade space. In addion, the newly created African Connental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) has opened another window of less stringent condions for trade among the 54 economies that have signed the agreement. The AfCFTA presents expansive regional market covering 55 countries with about 1.2 billion people and cumulave Gross Domesc Product (GDP) of over US$ 3 trillion. Overme, Nigeria has idenfied various pathways towards diversificaon as included in various short, medium, and long-term plans of the government including the: Economic Transformaon Agenda, Change Agenda, Economic Recovery and Growth Plan and Economic Sustainability Plan. Despite emphasis on non-oil sector and pronouncements of various incenves including the zero-oil plan designed by the Nigeria Export Promoon Council (NEPC) in 2016, zero reject policy, export, expansion grant (EEG) and export smulaon fund (ESF) designed to generate the desired non-oil export driven growth, the impacts in reality have remained relavely low. There are challenges that hinder the realisaon of the objecves of these incenves. These include producon and trade related infrastructure deficits, business environment concerns, subsisng gaps in interacon between the non-oil export community and policymakers. According to the WTO (2016) MSMEs account for the majority of non-oil exporng firms and jobs globally.

Department Of Political Science, Enugu State University Of Science And Technology, Nigeria. ABSTRACT:-This research determined whether the application of the federal character principle in solving ethnic tension, national question and inequitable distribution of political power possesses the potentials for achieving national integration which is the prerequisite for economic development. Most of the information in this research was based on the secondary source of data collection. Since independence in 1960, Nigeria has been plagued by ethnic tension and political conflicts which have taken the toll of unity and stability in Nigeria. Various solutions, ranging from the adoption of unitary system, federalism to the creation of states, have been proffered and implemented to the creation of states, proffered and implemented, but the problem has persisted. The adoption of federal character principle in Nigeria is to hold the federating units firm. This research also traced the history of amalgamation and evolution of Nigeria as one political unit. It also analyzed and examined the adoption of the Federal Character Principle as a solution to the problem of ethnic tensions arising from inequitable distribution of political power and posts, its relevance to the solution on ethnic tensions and marginalization. Keywords:- National integration, amalgamation, economic development, political power and ethnic tension. I. INTRODUCTION The concept of federal character is a device through which every section of a nation would take part in the decision making process.

    The Making of the President's Cabinet in Nigeria: a Reflection of the Olusegun Obasanjo's and Goodluck

    Democracy and the Making of the President’s Cabinet in Nigeria: A Reflection of the Olusegun Obasanjo’s and Goodluck Jonathan’s Cabinets Tunde Adeniran Tunde Ajayi ABSTRACT The Presidency, especially in Federal systems, holds peculiar and haunting fascination for scholars in their attempts to diagnose the workings of modern governments. The increasing powers of the Presidency, the recurrent debates over their use or abuse and the continuous interrogation of the extent of the legitimate use of such powers, invariably compel attention to the study of the Presidency. In Nigeria, a critical inquiry that goes beyond the surface seems to be long overdue and an appraisal of the making of a Presidential cabinet appears a vital part of the advancement of knowledge in this regard. Thus, this study is a review of democracy and the making of the presidential cabinet in Nigeria with a reflection of the Olusegun Obasanjo’s and the Goodluck Jonathan’s Cabinets. The aims are (i) to investigate the role of the President as crisis manager when a nation faces serious internal security challenges; (ii) to appraise the President’s role as manager of the economy – especially when fiscal and monetary policies are set in the context of double – digit inflation and severe economic dislocations; and (iii) to assess the interactions between the President, the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and the National Assembly. The study reveals among many others that for the President to be effective he needs a cabinet that fully understands what he wants to achieve, the way he wants to go about it and the time he wants to achieve it.
