Minister of State for Industry, Trade and Investment, Mariam Yalwaji Katagum, has disclosed that the Federal Government is pursuing an aggressive strategy to increase foreign exchange earnings on non-oil export trade to $150 billion. She explained that the strategy, which hinged on government’s zero oil plan strategy, was being planned for 10 years.
The minister stated this at the opening of a two-day capacity building for members of Women Farmers and Traders Association (WFTA), organised by the ministry in collaboration with the association.
Katagum explained that the Federal Government was capitalising on non-oil sector to exploit abundant deposit resources, while discouraging over dependence on oil.
