Zenith Bank Marks a Decade of Trade Wisdom with Flagship Non-Oil Export Seminar

Zenith Bank is gearing up to celebrate a significant milestone: the 10th edition of its International Trade Seminar on Non-Oil Export. This year, the virtual gathering promises to be more than just a panel discussion—it’s a strategic convening of the minds shaping Nigeria’s economic future beyond crude.

Scheduled for Tuesday, August 25, 2026, at 9:00am, the event carries the theme “Unlocking Value and Harnessing Growth.” It’s a fitting title for a session that has, over the last decade, become a cornerstone for exporters, policymakers, and industry captains seeking to turn the country’s agricultural and mineral wealth into global currency.

The conversation will zero in on practical pathways to expand Nigeria’s footprint in international markets. Expect deep dives into the potential of cocoa, cashew, sesame, hibiscus, and gemstones—commodities that hold the key to diversifying the nation’s revenue streams. But this isn’t just about listing products; it’s about equipping businesses with the tools to navigate the complexities of cross-border trade, from regulatory hurdles to logistics and financing.

What sets this seminar apart is its accessibility. While the core audience may be industry insiders, the bank has thrown the doors wide open. The session will be broadcast live on Zoom, with simultaneous streams on YouTube, Instagram, X, and TikTok. That means a farmer in Kano, a trader in Lagos, or a student in Enugu can tune in and glean insights that were once reserved for boardrooms.

For those ready to take part, registration is straightforward at zenithbank.com/exportsem. As Nigeria continues to push for economic diversification, this seminar stands as a reminder that the country’s non-oil sector isn’t just an alternative—it’s a powerhouse waiting to be fully unleashed.
