The Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, says Nigeria’s goods and non-oil exports grew to $55 billion in 2023.
Edun disclosed this on Tuesday at the end of the inaugural meeting of the Council of State convened by President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.
The Minister, who gave details on his presentation to the Council, noted that the results of the eight priority policies under Tinubu’s government are encouraging in the first half of 2024 when compared to the same quarter last year.
According to Edun, “economic indicators showed that there is an optimistic outlook for the Nigerian economy and society in general due to prospects for economic growth and progress.”
“We have exports, goods exports, non-oil exports, at $55bn last year with tremendous room to grow. And we reported an optimistic outlook for the Nigerian economy and society in general due to prospects for economic growth and progress.”
