we need to focus on trade within africa just like reported here. it is much more expensive to trade with EU or america, but much easier and cheap to trade within the continent. we need to develop policies that work together and then get all the agencies involved to corporate to push this policies. for example, NPA doesn’t allow SON to have an office at the port, yet SON is supposed to monitor and prevent substandard product from depressing our markets. custom allow the importation of rice above the quotated estabilished by ministry of agri. CBN has ban forex for product that we can produce locally, however there are no much financial encouragement via cheaper loans to increase production of this product. NERC is pushing for more generation of electricity and requires more gas, yet NNPC is not doing much to allocate and deliver this gas to the plants. we have good policies, but our MDA are not working together. hence the need for a project mgmt agencies that would be able to bring all the MDA together.
