Do u imagine innoson and other manufacturers do not import too? or are their products assembled all parts 100% fabricated here in Nigeria? My uncle is a manufacturer and nearly lost his business because he sent for components to be crafted in Germany due to the specialist specifications, if the items didn't arrive on time it would be a different story today.

Every country on earth imports!! Yes we do a lot more than we should but this is not the way to solve the situation. What about drugs for cancer etc and hospital perishables that are all imported? Wicked suddenly develop cancer research centers with 50 years of experience and corporate practice and stop importing drugs


This President is hell bent on destroying his own goodwill again....

Your theory is play but how realistic is it.

If a country wants to decrease importation of processed goods so as to improve local production, then it should support production of such goods in the country:
1. By providing electricity 24/7.
2. By providing grants for innovation.
3. By enabling opportunities for certified international manufacturers to operate their facilities in the country.
None has been done by the present regime.

Does Nigeria produce:
Car components in Nigeria?
LCD TV?
LCD TV screens?
NO!

Most of these importers import goods that we don't have the facility to produce. This is just a deliberate attempt by the government to milk the citizens and frustrate the business of importers.

On a personal note, I am working on introducing an electronic product in Nigeria, I have designed and constructed it, but most components were imported. Consequently, my product will suffer from this duty hike and patronage from potential customers will be low because I would like to cover my cost of production and make profit as well.

Basic economics theory will surely fail.

Which politicians convoy have you seen them drive the made in Nigeria innoson cars?

AyaSunday:
Good point but you didn't finish it well.
Have you thought of RAW MATERIALS for local production?
Almost all aspects of production in Nigeria has an imported raw material in it.
Nigeria does not have all the raw materials for production so this post above will only keep increasing the cost of finished goods locally.

Akosa007:
I bliv you inherited your stupidity, how can u discourage importation when you have no economy development blueprint? What happens to improving our technology background, which definitely you have to import before we can start doing ours. Do you know the level of poverty in Nigeria now? Compared to just 2years ago? Please if you don't have better things to say just sharapppp! Misguided youth, dancing to APC change musik, your eyes would soon open, just like Fr mbaka.

Obiano must be laffing..


His 5 Million Dollars Ugu and Bitter Leaf Exports can survive any tariff increases.

ikiller:
your talking rubbish, what has the government done to encourage manufacturers locally? How many manufacturers do we have locally that can cater for the whole nation?

Buhari was an evil sent by God to restore our lost sense and bring us closer to Him.
In times like this, you have no other option than to seek succor and solace in God.
I have renewed my relationship WITH God in other to survive this present evil called BUHARI

Insensitive government.
It seems the goal is to create unemployment and destroy businesses. Very foolish government, in short.
