In an era of shifting global markets and volatile oil prices, Nigeria’s non-oil export sector isn't just a fresh opportunity; it’s a strategic imperative. That’s why Sterling Bank is proud to launch the Sterling Non-Oil Export Academy, a game-changing initiative designed for anyone serious about elevating Nigeria’s global trade presence without relying on crude oil.
Why Now?
Q4 2024 Outlook: Nigeria recorded ₦36.6 trillion in total merchandise trade. Exports made up ₦20 trillion of that, but oil still dominates, contributing 68.9%, while non-oil exports remain stuck at just 4.2%.
With oil revenues shrinking and global demand soaring for diverse, high-quality goods, now is the time to pivot.
Nigeria has the talent, resources, and innovation needed to become a competitive global supplier, but unlocking that requires new minds, better training, and stronger networks.
