The theme of the conference is "The Role of the Non-Oil Sector Toward Economic Diversification and GDP Growth." According to Yakusak, Nigeria exported that many products due to value addition and good packaging. The NEPC CEO emphasized the importance of proper packaging and value addition in maximizing the value of any product. He stated that adding value to products and ensuring proper packaging would ensure acceptance in the global market. Yakusak attributed the low value of Nigerian agricultural produce in the international market to the raw state in which they are exported without processing or packaging to attract more financial value.
