The Federal Government has announced the conditional lifting of the ban on charcoal and processed wood export in a bid to revamp businesses and increase the country’s foreign exchange earnings.

In a statement signed by the Head of Corporate Communications, Nigerian Export Promotion Council, Ndubueze Okeke, the Minister of Environment, Mohammed Abdullahi, disclosed this in Abuja at a stakeholders’ consultative meeting on the review of the ban on charcoal, processed wood and other allied products export.

Abdullahi was quoted to have said, “The ministry has observed that many businesses have been unintentionally affected, especially those converting waste to wealth for export. As a responsible government, we would not be rigid in our policies, and will always listen to citizens on how these policies affect them.
