Nigerian Export Promotion Council Joins ACA Advisory Board

The African Cashew Alliance (ACA) Secretariat is delighted to welcome the newest member of our Advisory Board: the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), represented by its Chief Executive Officer Mr. Olusegun Awolowo.

The NEPC, whose mission is to make Nigeria’s non-oil export a significant contributor to the country’s GDP, is a strong supporter of the cashew industry. We look forward to benefiting from NEPC’s and Mr. Awolowo’s experience in export promotion as we work together to further strengthen the African cashew sector in the years to come.

The ACA Advisory Board consists of delegates from organizations providing more than USD 50,000 of funding per year. The Board has voting rights regarding the use of the ACA funds, and provides guidance on ACA programming. NEPC is the second African member of ACA’s Advisory Board, alongside Kenya’s Equatorial Nut Processors, which joined in 2015.
