Buhari To Nigerians: Get Ready To Patronise “Made In Nigeria” Products

President Muhammadu Buhari has hinted that
Nigerians get ready to patroni
se products made in
the country after he pledged that his
administration will implement essential reforms to
protect Nigerian manufacturers from unfair
competition from abroad.
“We will no longer allow our markets to be
flooded with things we can produce ourselves. We
must believe in our system. Whenever you need
my intervention at anytime, please come to me, ”
President Buhari told the Permanent Secretary,
Abdulkadir Musa and senior officials.
At a meeting with the Permanent Secretary of the
Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and
Investment, and senior officials of relevant
agencies, President Buhari stressed that with its
focus on job creation, his government was ready
to do whatever it considers necessary to boost
domestic manufacturing and industrialisation.
The President said that his administration will
fully support the effective implementation of the
plan evolved by the Ministry to boost local
manufacturing through legal, regulatory and
structural reforms, lower interest rates, special
intervention funds, protection of local
manufacturers and significant improvements in
national infrastructure.
“With high interest rates and entrepreneurs
needing trillions of Naira to buy machinery, we
are virtually back at Ground Zero as far as
industrial development is concerned.
“So, we will shun all anti-development policies,
and make the climate more suitable for
entrepreneurs. We will create the environment for
them to thrive. Generating employment was one
of our key campaign promises and we will keep
that promise.
The Permanent Secretary and his team told the
President that the objective of the Ministry’s
Industrialisation Plan was to create more jobs,
diversify exports and broaden the country’s tax
base.
They said that the plan’s critical success factors
included dialogue and consultation with industry
stakeholders, essential reforms and greater
collaboration among relevant agencies.
