NBTI DG urges Citizens To Patronise Made-In-Nigeria Goods

The National Board for Technology Incubation's (NBTI) supervising Director-General, Akinwumi Somefun, has urged Nigerians to support locally-made goods rather than those that are imported.

In an interview with the on Thursday in Abuja, Somefun made the suggestion.

In order to support the Federal Government's initiatives on industrialization and economic growth, he asked Nigerians to replace imported goods with Made in Nigeria products.

He said that using local products and services will increase revenue for the country and stop capital flight.

“It would strengthen the economy and create more jobs for the unemployed.

"Nigerian products are produced from the locally sourced raw materials which would sustain the supply chains.

"More consumption of our own indigenously produced goods will bring about more employment opportunities, keep the supply chains going and increase economic efficiency and earnings.

“Most of the products we produce in NBTI incubation centres are well packaged, with high quality and exported which earns us foreign exchange.”
