ROLE OF NIGERIA EXPORT PROMOTION COUNCIL IN INTERNATIONAL PURCHASING

 

ABSTRACT

International purchasing is one of the major ways a country relates with other countries. It not only encourages or build relationship with these countries it builds the economy of a nation. International purchasing is not an individual thing. It requires a nation to set up a committee or council to organize and monitor international purchasing. This is why in Nigeria, the government established Nigerian export promotion council to be in charge of international purchasing. They are charged with the responsibility of: a. Promoting the development and diversification of Nigerian export trade. b. Publishing and servicing trade enquires. c. Organizing trade exhibitions to expose exporters in the international scenes. d. Organizing forum to discuss and enlightens NEPC though they are charged with these responsibilities; they encounter some difficulties that make their work difficult, causing people to believe that they are not relevant. Therefore, bearing this in mind, this research is aimed at proving that NEPC plays their role effectively and also relevant, and proffer solution that may help NEPC to improve the service it renders. This will make them play their role effectively and make them more relevant.

This body will be viewed from the points of the purchaser and how the activities affect purchasing abroad. The council was established in 1979 by the federal military government under Decree No. 72 of 1979 is guided by some rules and regulations, which exporters must keep to and with existing rules to be adhered to by exporters. The purchasers also in their own side are influenced by these rules because what is available in the market is what they have the chances of purchasing from the international market for their organizations.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

There is no intention in this research work to cover all aspects of NEPC and their method of operation as such will be beyond the scope of this study. The exporting system of NEPC has made a remarkable mark in the exporting of the Nigeria export promotion council goods since its inception in Nigeria. In this study we will focus on the effectiveness of exporting in NEPC, identifying alternative channels of exporting and emphasizing its importance in the marketability of Nigeria export promotion council.
