That's why the govt has directed NICO to conduct a Made-in-Nigeria Campaign and also come up with a comprehensive proposal for its effective implementation to secure state government buy-in. And i think it can be workable if every state government can start it's implementation in their various states, beginning with the corporate bodies and bodies corporate. It's just a matter of time then it becomes a custom and culture. |
