Lagos State Government has partnered with Made in Africa Brands Ambassador to improve women exporters’ access to financing of up to N5m and work with the Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service to raise packaging standards and reduce the rejection of Nigerian products in international markets.
The partnership formed part of the resolutions reached at the SheExports Conference 2026 held in Lagos on Tuesday, by MABA in collaboration with the Lagos State Ministry of Wealth Creation and Employment under the theme, ‘Produce, Add Value and Export: A Catalyst for Sustainable Economic Growth’.
Speaking at the conference, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Made in Africa Brands Ambassador, Flora Mbeledeogu, said the initiative was designed to prepare women entrepreneurs for global trade by improving product quality, packaging, certification and traceability.
She said poor product quality and substandard packaging remained major reasons Nigerian exports were rejected overseas.
