Gbajabiamila makes a case for Innoson, Proforce, others

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has called on the Federal Government to patronise local manufacturers more, especially those producing security equipment.

Gbajabiamila also called for government funding and support for them.


The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen Gabriel Olonisakin, said when he appeared before the House of Representatives Committee on Defence in Abuja on Thursday the military was working towards getting more security equipment manufactured locally.

Gbajabiamila, who was on assessment tour of the budget defence sessions between the standing committees and ministries, departments and agencies, said the country must support locally produced products.

He said, “As I listened to you (Olonisakin), I heard you talking about indigenous manufacturers. For us, that is very key and important. Either by way of legislation or budgeting, we encourage indigenous manufacturers. The issue of local content that we all hear about, many people think it is restricted to the petroleum industry that is the cash cow. But I think that if we don’t have a country, we cannot have a petroleum ministry.

“So, the issue of local content must spread, even to security matters. And we have men and women who are capable of delivering the goods, as you have stated here. There is Innoson, there are so many of them. There is Proforce. There are so many of them, we just need to encourage and fund them. I am glad that you are doing that and we are on the same page when it comes to that.”

Gbajabiamila said they were ready to support the armed forces.

We need everything local.

We would save money and also improve.

Local Rice... Neeeexxt

Local..when we no even trust ourselves. Takes of trusting what is been made in our country... you are on your own if you trust local product

The same gbaja passionately hated and despised by Igbos and thier sympathizers

Let's support our own....
Very important.

Why post only Proforce products? I thought u mentioned Innoson

After the border closure if this government would make 50 percent effort in trying to help/ patronize locally made goods then it has tried in my opinion



Nigeria would be great again

Ok

Talk & Do

We are growing locally

BIAC AUTOMOBILE China must be proud of Africans stupidity they must see us as gullible chimps to use simple rebadging tricks on


What Nigeria fvcking needs is a fully opreational Ajaokuta steel plant



..

Femi dint mention cows in that report! oh lawd! Buhari wont do shìt!

There is hope for this country, Nigeria.

Gbajabiamila is trying sha.

And also let's stop blaming government for everything. Change begins with we the citizens. Nigeria is gradually moving forward and becoming more independent. God bless Nigeria!

Ok, all Government official cars should also be Innoson .

This is a wonderful move by the Speaker.

It is high time we appreciate our very own product so far the specification meets the standard it requires.

This will further boost our indigenous products, we still have Aba made goods yet to be appreciated by us.

This is not the time to apportion blame on any tribe, religion or group as we need ourselves to form a strong and formidable nation.

God will lead us through the right path.

Talk is cheap.
As if he is not the leader of a branch that make up the government.

Didn't BIAC AUTOMOTIVE China start like Innoson and Proforce, by adopting technological ideas from the West? keep wallowing in pessimism while things take shape.

Under this administration, there is a serious National Consciousness.

All hands must be on deck to produce and grow Nigerian made.
