Patronise made-in-Nigeria goods, FG urges Nigerians
The Federal Government has called on the Nigerians to patronize locally made products to grow the country’s economy.
This call was made by Engineer Joseph Oladimeji Alasoluyi, a deputy director at the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI), during a strategic focus group meeting on made-in-Nigeria products in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital.
Alasoluyi who decried the low patronage of Nigerians of locally-made products and preference for foreign goods, said patronizing homegrown products would not only revitalize the country’s economy but also stimulate local manufacturing industries.
He said that the country has the capacity to produce quality goods and products that can compete favourably with foreign goods.
He noted that the current administration under President Bola Tinubu is working assiduously to reduce dependence on imported goods and promote local manufacturing.
