Nigeria’s Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has said that Nigeria can use its abundant berries and “ogogoro” to produce hand sanitisers.

According to IgbereTV reports, the former governor of Lagos revealed this when he spoke on Wednesday in Abuja at a forum organised by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Fashola said the hand sanitiser he used while entering the event was imported from China.

The minister asked businesses in the country to take advantage of locally-sourced materials to engage the crisis. “This crisis may produce Nigeria’s finest hours. We must not panic, if the human capital I see here consistently engages this crisis, we will have a workable outcome,” Fashola said. “When I came into this place, I had to use hand-sanitisers imported from China.

“We have berries in Plateau and Ogogoro all over Nigeria. Why are our MSMEs not making these sanitisers?”

Recall that in the aftermath of Nigeria’s index positive coronavirus case, many Nigerians began panic buying of hand sanitizers which led to a price hike. The product has also become scarce. Global health organisations had advised people to maintain good hygiene by washing their hands always, especially with alcohol-based sanitisers, as a way of preventing the virus.

I don't believe fashola said this!

Good suggestion, a simple product like alcohol/ metylated spirit can be sourced locally and infused with lubricant or hand lotion. Only problem is that our scientists and pharmacists are good at importing and selling. While our IT guys are smart at installation of imported equipment. Our government are good at making promises they do not keep. Lastly, our banks have more confidence in Asians than Nigerians.

Lol

I would love to have a taste of what these guys are smoking over there in Abuja.

Fashola is one of the bundles of disappointments we have in this administration.

Without enabling environment it will be hard for any business to strive.

Before you ask that stupid question. No, the government mustn't always invest in everything.

People have to wake up and be creative in times like this and not wait for the government.

He's right though. . . .but those our over sabi religious brethren will they touch the ogogoro so?

Focus on housing and works ITK. abi make baba add trade and investment to your portfolio??

Fashola please stay on your lane
I won't say a word

Fashola please stay on your lane
