THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SAYS IT HAS PUT PLANS IN MOTION TO ENFORCE THE BUYING OF NIGERIA PRODUCTS BY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.

THE MINISTER OF INFORMATION, CULTURE AND TOURISM, ALHAJI LAI MOHAMMED, SAID THAT THE ACT ESTABLISHING THE BUREAU OF PUBLIC PROCUREMENTS 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 IN UMUAHIA.

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 GOODS AND SERVICES THROUGH A REVIEW OF ITS ACT.”

It should have happened long ago, but i'm glad its happening now. I wonder how widespread it would go. Innoson will probably see an increase in sales. Glo as well if they plan to expand it to cellular devices.

Why will I be forced to buy made in Nigeria goods? Bunch of ignorance and imcompetent government.

I'm beginning to dislike this man...

It is a welcome development. But you don't "enforce" such things, you "encourage." After all we are still in a democracy.
