That's not bad... The only question remains: do we have the internal production capacity and self-sufficiency to cushion this??!

If yes, then this is good news.

From the perspective of Healthcare, this is already looking Catastrophic! undecided

I wonder how much the following go for now or will go for later:

1. Augmentin Products and other essential drugs which we obviously don't produce here.
2. Inhalers (for Asthmatics)
3. Supplements
4. Laboratory Materials and Reagents
Etc...

The problem with APC is instead of focusing on promoting export they are focusing on preventing import

If importation have reduce, why is the naira still freely falling against the dollar.

I know the lifting of the ban on some items will make the naira fall at the official window.



Is exportation increased?


Naira will start appreciating when will start export far more than we import.

How will that possible? We must start producing what people from outside would be buying from us for us to get more dollars.

Can we produce them? It will be very difficult because of heavy taxes, no electricity, insecurities and energy (petroleum) are too costly.

In the long run this tinubu method will favour the economy but many will be crushed before it arrives...it will favour home grown solutions to our problems. Only the political thieves..those who earn in dollars and ppl close to them will be able to purchase foreign goods...was just wandering if other viable alternatives exist..yeah...like tasking the rich increasing import duty on luxury good..imagine a 200 thousand dollars car with import duty of 3 million dollars no body go bring am enter the country and we will conserve our foreign exchange anybody dat can afford it has some explanations to make.

Agbado economists now believe importation is evil.
This guys are fuçking clueless Zombies.
Just look at them up there condemning importation as if it's not a part of trade.
One wonders which schools these clowns attended.
Even secondary school economics should cure this cluelessness

this brings back the memory of this topic in economics "Trade", which is divided into 2 category (home trade & foreign trade)
home trade- trade within one's country.
foreign trade -trade between 2 or more countries.

I kept wondering why this administration is making international trade(buying from other countries) looks like abomination

is commerce and economics a joke to apc ni angry angry angry

The imoprters should source for produts made in Nigeria and export. The same way they travel abroad to source for product to import to Nigeria.

Don't tell me Nigeria doesn't produce anything. Go to Aba alone and see how shoes, bags, belts are made in larger scales though they can request producers to improve the quality of their products then export to other African countries and as far as the Pacific countries. Don't forget Lagos and also Kano are also producing the same.

Open warehouses and shops in these countries to market and sell these products.

These process is tedious and demands strategic consistent marketing and advertising in those countries but the benefit supercedes the pains.

The same way Hyundai, Samsung, Toyota even Pep stores from South African go to other countries to advertise their products and make money for their countries.

The problem with importers, is the urge to make quick money without hard labor.

Mind you, there are other products prodced in Nigeria here. Adire, Aso Oke, Ankara, Innoson, Nord, Electric cables, Nigerian foods, plastic chairs, etc. You can add to the list.

Importers should upgrade and stop looking for fast money.

What can you produce?

It is called projection.
The business world knows where value is and where value will be lost well, well in advance and acts/adjusts accordingly.
Don't worry the present economy will elevate everyone's thinking and hopefully into some sort of competence.

The theory of comparative advantage according to Ricardo is a scam that favours only developed and industrialised countries. Nigeria produces mainly agricultural products/crude oil and needs to protect its infant industries and economy from being a dumping ground for cheap imported Chinese goods. The almighty USA and Germany were once against the theory before they became industrialised

The ban won’t have any effect on the Naira present free fall. This is because politicians are the ones mopping up all the Naira they loot in government,exchange & domicile in dollars to hold value .

Which importer will buy dollars at #1200 per dollar? How will he make profit also considering the fact that even import duty at the ports were increased also plus 7.5% vat .

Until we hold our leaders/ Politicians accountable, The Economy will remain in shambles. Peace ✌️

Nigeria produces Groundnut, palm oil, gold, Cassava, Crude Oil, and Supply Ships.

The country has the capabilities to be a steel, refined oil, petrochemical, Aluminium, automobile and ship producer in less than 3 years if it had a committed leader that wasn't interested in stealing oil resources.

President Bola Tinubu as Minister of Petroleum Resources appointed Heineken Lokpobiri as the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil) and Ekperikpe Ekpo as Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas) in August 2023. They replaced Timipre Sylva who took over the Ministerial portfolio in August 2019.

Seems like u don't understand the economic rule of demand and supply... u think u can just export anything without demand ...u think other countries are like us that are unserious in production... they can only buy what they can't produce ... even as powerful the Chinese economy is , they are really struggling to find buyers for their products like their cars and phones , reason they dump those products in poor African nations ... u think if u go to usa or Germany or Brazil, u will see Chinese cars or phones... Nigeria is a big market for China cos we have money to buy their products at the same time they know we are stupid and can't manage our economy, reason they are having a field day here .... the only think that we can produce that will be in high demand are produce like oil, lithium, gold ( if its of quality) , coal is already heading to its last days as a serious mineral... bitumen to an extent , but again, how much quantity can we produce and how's the quality .... what u should be talking about is how we can reduce import , so that the demand in dollar reduces ...

Every step Tinubu has taken so far is a step in the right direction with long-term results,

Oh trust me,I wasn't up for debate with you,
Just wanted to put your emptiness in its rightful place.
Tinubu's personality or charisma shouldn't be a determinant for what he can achieve,
Have you seen Mike Adenuga coming on TV for any bickering or interview before?
Can your empty obi build a tenth of what he's built?
Personalities and character differ and shouldn't be a progress determinant, even though I don't expect you to know this as its clearly above your pay grade.
Real achievers don't need media frenzies, their actions are all that matters.

Every election, they package one rubbish human being and sell to Nigerians.

Knowing the penchant for Nigerians to self-sabotage, the gimmick always worked.

People like FFK that packaged the nonsense have retreated to their shells to continue enjoying their lives while the basket of gullible are left to wither away in penury.
