The Nigerian Export-Import Bank (NEXIM) at the weekend said it is committed to facilitating the process that would lead to the creation of over 160,000 new jobs in four critical sectors of the country’s economy by 2015.

Managing Director/Chief Executive of the bank, Roberts Orya, said export-oriented diversification investments programmes is designed to help develop the potentials in the manufacturing, agriculture, solid minerals and services sectors of the economy under its MASS agenda.

The 18-month revival agenda, instituted under the bank’s corporate transformation project to address its challenges and articulate strategies that would facilitate its emergence as Africa’s premier export development bank, is aimed at focus attention on the development of certain markets, to see it emerge as a major contributor to non-oil exports in the continent.

“We are committed to not only build a world class institution which imbibes best-in-class corporate governance and risk management practices, but also become a relevant player in the export market by significantly influencing government trade policies as well as build a profitable institution with a robust balance sheet size and a highly skilled and motivated workforce,” Mr. Orya said.

Since last year, about N3.943billion was disbursed under the bank’s non-oil exports finance programme targeted at generating over 3,500 direct jobs as well as generate about $148.4million in foreign exchange earnings annually, while about $70million was secured to facilitate its programme to attract foreign investment capital for non-oil exports,
