Dr. Fatoumata Gaye, the Chief Executive Officer of Top3 Solutions, has called on Nigerians to reduce the dependence on oil revenues by exporting other products, which according to her, are abundant in the country.
She also called for the diversification of the Nigerian economy.
Speaking at a National Business Masterclass with the theme “Scaling strategies for business growth”, in Lagos, she stated that it is imperative to diversify sources of revenues for the economy.
Dr Gaye disclosed that the purpose of the masterclass
was to empower business owners, entrepreneurs, and corporate leaders with the knowledge and tools necessary to scale their businesses, enter international markets, and thrive in the global economy with a particular focus on helping businesses position for export and earn in foreign currencies.
She added that the masterclass offered comprehensive training that combined practical insights, hands-on workshops, and the integration of cutting-edge technology, including AI-driven strategies.

Also speaking at the event, Emmanuel Utomi Ayele, the president of the Institute of Certified Business Consultants (ICBC), said the training was aimed at making the export trade to small business people who he described as the engine room of the Nigerian economy. He added that the training will spur more Nigerian businesses to engage in the export business and earn more foreign exchange for the country.
