The Director General, DRDB, Air Vice Marshal Jomo Osahor said the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Nigerian Institute of Leather and Science Technology (NILEST), Kaduna State, and Defence Research and Development Bureau (DRDB) on research and development of footwear for the Armed Forces will save Nigeria about N20bn annually from importing military shoes into the country,

Speaking at the signing ceremony in Abuja, Osahor said it would also help to provide employment and build capacities. The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Science and Technology, Mr. Bitrus Bako Nabasu, said the MoU is part of the drive to diversify the economy and conserve foreign exchange. He added that the initiative would also help in the effective exploitation of natural resources.

According to Nabasu, the ministry is committed to implementing the MoU.Earlier, the Acting Director General, NILEST, Dr. Eucharia Oparah said the bilateral partnership would reduce capital flight and promote made-in-Nigeria goods.

I foresee reduction in the quality of the military shoes used by the Nigerian Armed Forces.

That's a good idea. Nothing beats patronizing locally made goods and services when it comes to developing a nation. That's why I am particularly very happy with the signing of the executive order number 5 by mr President. The order mandates every government agencies to patronize locally owned goods and services that going for foreign ones is only if there is no locally available ones.

Do they mean mending shoes or shoe production ....another avenue to loot...

When you do crap locally, don't expect people to manage poo.
Went to one eatery investment and almost threw up whilst having their icecream. Shii was real poo!

This is a good development. However they should do what China has succeeded in, which is producing the item and allowing popular fashion labels brand them.

Producing in Nigeria and importing
Which one will promote capital freight "looting"?

Nigeria to... It will... We are tired of being used. Bring a surprise, let us see this things already materializing... And let us see and feel the positive effect of it. The talking is becoming rebarbative to me, spit.

Shoe Making is an untapped Goldmine capable of revamping the nation's economy. Nigeria's shoe designers and makers boost
that locally made shoes are durable than its foreign imported counter part

This is good. We need to up our quality of leather. As for the designs Nigerians are really trying. I can attest to this because of one of the shoes I using currently.
