FEDERAL GOVERNMENT EYES THREE TRILLION NAIRA FROM BUY NIGERIA GOODS CAMPAIGN
The Federal Government, says it will roll out a nationwide ‘buy Nigeria goods campaign’ in few months’ time, with the target to rake in about three trillion naira into the economy in the short term.
This was according to the Minister of State for Industry, Trade and Investment, Senator John Enoh, at a pre-summit briefing of the Summit & Exhibition 2025 in Lagos.
The Summit, themed: ‘Accelerating West Africa’s Sustainable Industrial Revolution for Economic Prosperity,’ will cover industrial policy, manufacturing competitiveness, regional trade, infrastructure, access to finance, and technology-driven growth.
Addressing newsmen, Enoh said the buy Nigeria goods campaign is aimed at reducing Nigeria’s heavy dependence on imported goods and boosting local production, and that the country will earn three trillion naira, if the campaign is successful.
The Minister explained that the campaign is designed to change consumer behaviour, strengthen local industries and drive economic patriotism.
He said the campaign is a follow-up on the President Bola Tinubu’s earlier pronouncement on Nigeria First policy and other existing policy efforts such as Executive Orders 3 and 5 on local content.
