all these mentioned, Please the government should list to us companies in Nigeria that can supply daily, monthly, yearly for just Lagos alone without hitch. Is SON working to ensure all these Nigeria companies meet the standard. i now even the import ones (some) are not to standard but in Nigeria we allow a lot of rubbish go into production (esp edibles - juice, biscuits etc) all in the name of "Na Nigeria we they". What is government providing to promote local manufacturing in large quantities of these. example good road network, power, raw materials accessment. 1 Like |

Good development, I must say. I hope this law can be enforced cos in Nigeria, passing a law is simple, radically enforcing it is where the real work is. |

If the power supply is not fixed, if we can't have steady power supply a snail will be faster than the growth of this country. 1. Steady power supply, 2. Good road network, 3. Set standard for everything, 4. Proficient and competent teachers, profs 5. Quality education 6. Meritocracy and more without these things we will never ever get better but can only depreciate. 2 Likes |

The country is not serious about curbing imports. Nigeria still import thousands of categories of items. If we were serious, we would not have a short list of banned items, we should instead have a short list of permitted items. And we wonder why we have forex scarcity. 4 Likes 1 Share |
