The Nigerian Export-Import Bank (NEXIM) is an export credit agency in Nigeria, established in 1991.[1]

History

The bank was established by the Federal Government of Nigeria with Act 38 of 1991 to replace the Nigerian Export Credit Guarantee & Insurance Corporation.[2] It provides export credit guarantees and export credit insurance for exports of Nigerian commodities and services within and outside West Africa.[3] In 2014 it had a capacity of $39.5 billion in credit and securities for Nigeria's non-oil exports.[4]

Roberts Orya is the managing director/chief executive officer of the bank; he was appointed in August 2009, and re-appointed by Goodluck Jonathan in 2014.[4]
