By Balogun Rilwan

The Managing Director of a local paint industry, Omoregie Aigbe has expressed dissatisfaction over importation of paints in the country as it was unnecessary since the production capacity of local practitioners has improved.

Aigbe explained that it was improper for the country to be importing paints because the country’s market had been saturated with locally produced paints, thereby making importation of the product unnecessary.

While advising FG during a press briefing on Friday, the Managing Director of the paint comany, expressed sadness over seeing imported paints being used for constructing buildings.

“I travel yearly to participate in the Paint Manufacturers Conference in U.S., Europe and Asia; I see what they are doing; it is not different from ours except in packaging and regulation of quality.
