President Muhammadu Buhari has hinted that Nigerians get ready
to patronise 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.
