Now I know that one of the problem of exportation in Nigeria is caused
by people or agency that are supposed to be supporting entrepreneurs.
My sister and I visited NAFDAC office to make enquiry on cost of exporting foodstuff like Egusi, Ogbono and other native foodstuff.
She has already package these foodstuff in a sack but was told to make enquiry at NAFDAC first.
We got there and we waited for about 30 minutes before they called us. She began to narrate her plans and asked how much it will cost to be given license.
The lady said the license will cost her N50 million for a start, imagine a business that the capital is not even up to N10 Million. These made my sister to rain abuses on the lady because she was so shocked on such exorbitant amount for a start.
Another man came out which I believe is in higher position than the lady we first met and invited us to his office. After we narrated what led to the drama, he smiled and said "She didn't even give you the right price, you will be charged N100 million for it". Just imagine.
This is how entrepreneurs are discouraged to do business abroad and they expect Nigeria to move forward.
I want to know if what these NAFDAC staff charged us is reality or just obvious exploitation?
