The Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) says the country is preparing its exporters to tap into the $6.5 trillion global e-commerce trade in 2025.
Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer of NEPC, Nonye Ayeni, made the disclosure in Abuja at the fifth edition of the Re-Energised Webinar Series 5.0 with the theme, ‘E-Commerce as a Catalyst for Trade Facilitation’.
She said the webinar is not only timely but also critical in an era defined by connectivity and digital platforms, which are revolutionising how exporters are engaging with the global marketplace.
“It may interest you to know that the growth of e-commerce is expected to continue with commerce value estimated to be $6.09 trillion. This represents an 8.4% increase in projections of $6.56 trillion in 2025 and $7.06 trillion in 2026.

“For Nigeria, this is an opportunity to break traditional barriers, empower the SMEs, and position made-in-Nigeria products as the preferred brand in the international market.
“This webinar series, just like the previous series, has always served as a veritable platform to ignite conversations, exchange ideas and proffer real-time solutions,” she explained.
Also speaking, the team lead of NEPC Connect, Dr Sherifat Omokide, urged exporters to explore opportunities presented by digital trade and e-commerce, especially in the international market.
