Politics FG To Enforce Buying of ‘Made in Nigeria’ Products

[ProfRem]

President Muhammadu Buhari -led Federal Government says it has put plans in motion to enforce the buying of Nigerian products by government agencies.

The Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said that the Act establishing the Bureau of Public Procurement would be reviewed to enforce the buying of Nigerian products which would, in turn, boost the economy

Mohammed said this on Monday at a town hall meeting held at Umuahia on Monday.

He said, “Talking about Made-in-Nigeria products, let me use this important national platform to announce that the Federal Executive Council has already approved measures to sensitise Nigerians to patronise such products.



“These measures include the approval given to the Bureau of Public Procurement to increase the patronage of Made-in-Nigeria good and services through a review of its Act.”

While commending the Abia State Government for its ingenuity in the production of Nigerian products, the minister said the Nigerian military was already wearing boots made in Abia State.

He said the production and sale of such products would help diversify the economy which is still dependent on oil.

yes, strictly for the poor. The craziest part of this made in Nigeria campaign is that made in Nigeria goods are often more expensive and less durable than foreign products

Because the producers have to pay for light, water, training, transport (and pray goods get there), and then give all the money to government for IGR
