The Abia office of the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) held a sensitisation programme in Aba on formalising informal trade and export documentation. RMRDC’s Abia coordinator, C. G. Oji-Nnorom, joined the event, where customs and NEPC officials held technical sessions on export documents and procedures.

The report identified limited knowledge of export procedures, product certification, packaging and applicable standards as challenges for businesses. RMRDC argued that research and improved processing technology could help product quality, and participants discussed identifying firms for possible technical assistance. The source announces no award, financing or export deal for a named business.
