I like this Atiku’s line to Mr. President: “We challenge President Tinubu to stop the noise and trade in his beloved Escalade for an Innoson. That single act will do more to promote local industry than a thousand policy memos” because I have some recommendations for Mr. President. Mr. President, go with Innoson G80. There are more options here from the Innoson showroom. Of course, Innoson can create a new breed – Innoson CinC – for the commander in chief.
I support the President’s Nigeria First Policy. And I also support ex-VP Atiku Abubakar’s comment that it must involve every person. If we buy Nigerian products, Nigeria will rise again. So, this new government policy should be supported even as the nation deepens its electricity capacity to power it.
“The government has announced a sweeping directive barring all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) from procuring foreign goods and services where local alternatives exist. The policy, dubbed the Nigeria First Policy, was one of the resolutions adopted at Monday’s Federal Executive Council (FEC). It mandates all MDAs to prioritize Nigerian-made goods in procurement, unless a waiver is granted by the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP).” –
