Sokoto government said it is partnering with investors from Turkey to revive the moribund state-owned furniture company.



At its peak, Sokoto Furniture was one of the largest furniture companies in the North, employing more than 10,000 workers and serving clients from as far as neighbouring Niger Republic.



Conducting the visiting investors round the factory, Managing Director of Sokoto Investment Company, Aliyu Bala Sokoto, said government is determined to bring the company back to its former glory.



“We’re talking with the Turkish investors, under the auspices of the MUSIAD Group, with a view to collaborating in various sectors. Apart from our understanding on the furniture company, we are also working on establishment of a light tractor and agricultural implements assembly plant as well technical partnership on women empowerment through skills transfer,” he said.



Team Leader of the MUSIAD Group, Resul Aslan, said a comprehensive report on the status of the company will soon be presented.



He said his Group is delighted with the collaboration, and expressed optimism that the factory will soon return to full production.



Though important to Sokoto economy in the 80s and 90s, a downturn in the fortune of the Sokoto Furniture Company led to its closure and despite provision of loan by the Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) in efforts to revive it, not much was achieved.


Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal Tambuwal in 2015 cleared the N1.5 billion AMCON debt and took back possession of the company, with a promise to revive it in partnership with private partners.

My brother the thing tire me.

Fact is there are many individuals making excellent furniture now. The industrial scale type of the 1980s will make sense if only we can find export market. But remember most countries control imported goods. They should rather promote individual artisans rather create another govt company to line private pockets.

Northern Nigeria people go to Egypt and other Muslim countries to hire doctors, obtain tech, train their wards, instead of to southern Nigeria.

North usually looks forward to Muslim countries for advancement.

But south of Nigeria, the people don't look forward to Muslim countries for advancement.

Truth be told, the differences between northern and southern Nigeria are ever widening.

Illiteracy is what is worrying you.
Just YouTube a real furniture company and see how things are been done, see how engineers use CAD to design these furnitures. See how they use laser cutter to shape the wood. U think is the rubbish they do in Nigeria here.

It is extremely stupid. If Italy brought in foreign furniture manufacturer's will they have an indigenous industry to boast about today? The foreign guys will end up killing the local talent. What they will end up doing is bring foreign labor into the country or even export our wood and reimport furniture for us to buy at ridiculous rates. We need to stop our desperation for foreign things. They are not better than us or better than what we can do creatively. This single act shows the governor does not believe in the people that voted him in. We need to start rejecting and fighting back such nonsense by politicians. This is why so many are without jobs, opportunity or start up capital! Open your brain and think abeg!
