The President has encouraged Nigerians to stock MADE in Nigeria products to support our
country's growth and development.
The minister of Information Labaran Maku said; if you go to the President’s house today,
he eats rice produced in Ebonyi State…Ofada Rice; the imported rice is not eaten in the
Presidential Villa…also there, he eats Cassava Bread that has just been introduced,
which is saving Nigeria almost N300 billion in imports.”
The minister urged Nigerians to “patronise the things that are researched and produced here,
the country will develop.”
He emphasized, Nigeria would grow and develop only when Nigerians begin to patronise
locally made goods.
The minister commended the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology for its
research-based development efforts, adding that new Science, Technology and
Innovation Policy was required to promote national development.
The minister said “We never can develop as a nation until we pay attention
to science and technology; the difference between America, Europe,
Asia and us is the emphasis on science and technology and human capital development…
I want to assure you from what you have seen that intellectual property, creativity,
is what we need to advance the development of our country.”
Nigeria has a large market, which has always attracted investors. He urges Nigerians
to play significant roles in meeting the needs of the market.
Products like Zobo, Vitamilk, Coco drinks, Conflakes,Ankara prints,shoes and bags
to mention but a few are doing wonderfully well.
