BACKGROUND

 

Mike Jumbo & Co. was registered in the year 2003 to carries out business as a professional outfit offering consultancy and agency services to Nigerian and foreign exporters and importers.  They are sourcing agents, trade fair/exhibition and seminar promoter.

 

The Managing Director and Chief operating Officer is Mr. Michael E. Jumbo.  A graduate of Marketing with options in Advertising and Public Relations, he has about 15 years of cognate experience in EXIM trade.  His endearing managerial skills are ably complimented with an array of local and foreign associates.

We are facilitators in the export of Nigerian agricultural products such as gum Arabic, sesame seeds, dry split ginger, raw cashew nuts, dry hibiscus flower and wood profiles.  On importation, we are active in consumer goods, motor vehicle parts, engineering equipment, IT & Communication equipment, Security, Household, Electrical and electronic equipment & Appliances, etc.

 

They have identified the fact that most Nigerian exporters and importers are inert in forging viable trade relationship with foreign partners.  Much akin to ignorance of the domestic market and prejudice, some prospective foreign partners are apathetic towards dealing with Nigerian importers and exporters.

Because they are abreast with the dynamics of global trade, they help to bridge the gap between Nigerian and foreign importers and exporters. 

 

Their mission is to create a fair playing ground where buyers and sellers can relate profitably without any recourse to arbitration.

International trade is not a novelty venture.  It thus calls for very articulate and meticulous planning, execution and control, with an unalloyed zeal to excel; they help their clientele to attain their desired corporate goals through the provision of personalized and distinctively packaged services in the following areas.

 

They have worldwide agency network and sources of buyers and sellers.  With our vast knowledge of the Nigerian market and privileged access to the global market, we help Nigerian and foreign manufacturers to establish their domestic and international markets

 

They encourage importers and exporters to attend international trade fairs and exhibitions, either as visitors or participants.  Such a forum affords importers and exporters the ample opportunity to meet with manufacturers/exporters and importers/distributors.  It creates an enabling environment for parties to parley, assess each other’s potentials and also identify areas of possible cooperation.  It is an opportunity for Nigerian exporters to sell their products in the international market.  For importers, it is a clear chance to acquaint themselves with the latest advancement in technology on display at such fairs and exhibitions.

We collaborate with organizers of international trade fairs/exhibitions and have their mandate to arrange for Nigerian importers and exporters to attend such events.

 

They  hold seminars in major cities of the world and are solely for professionals in the fields of medicine, engineering, food & beverages, education, building & construction, automobile, information technology, music, textile & fashion, communication, etc.   

 

 

 EXPANSION PLAN

To be a major player in this sector.
