The document analyzes opportunities for Nigeria to increase non-oil exports to the UK. It finds that while Nigeria imports over $350 billion worth of goods from the UK annually, its non-oil exports to the UK are only about $14 million. However, the UK imports many raw materials and commodities that Nigeria produces, such as gems, plastics, wood, hides, starches, and resins. Increasing exports of these goods could help address Nigeria's large trade deficit with the UK.
