The Nigerian Export Promotion Council and the Technology Incubation Centre held a one-day capacity-building programme in Zamfara to help local businesses prepare for export markets. The RMRDC state coordinator called for cooperation among public institutions, producers and other stakeholders to process agricultural and solid-mineral resources into higher-value products.

The programme covered export procedures, market requirements, product quality and processing standards. RMRDC also said it had attended an earlier stakeholder meeting on 4 October, which proposed preparing a document of recommendations and interventions for consideration by the state government.
