Title: Request for Proposal for the Development of a Feasible Study and Business Plan Pursuant to the Establishment of an Export Trading Company (ETC)

Preamble

Under the Federal Government of Nigeria’s Nigerian Economic Sustainability Plan (NESP), the NEPC is implementing the Export Expansion Facility Programme (EEFP), to expand the non-oil export base and actualise its flagship Zero-Oil Plan.
Through its initiatives, the EEFP seeks to significantly grow Nigeria capacity in non-oil exports and provide a sustainable path to reducing dependence on crude oil revenues.
One of the key interventions of the EEFP is the creation of an Export Trading Company (ETC) in Nigeria to expand the volume and value of export transactions in Nigeria.
The ETC will be set up as a profit- oriented, independent entity to operate as a large trading enterprise primarily for the promotion and marketing of Nigerian non-oil exports that meet the objectives of the Zero Oil Plan. It is proposed that the ETC will initially focus on a limited number of non-oil export commodities that the country has comparative advantages and earns/has the potential to earn significant foreign exchange,
Pursuant to this objective, applications are hereby invited from suitably qualified firms to prepare a Feasibility Study and Business Plan for the proposed ETC.
