Patronise locally made products, FG urges Nigerians
Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, the Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, urged Nigerians to support locally made products during a recent visit to Lelook Nigeria Limited in Abuja. She emphasized the importance of prioritizing Nigerian products as part of the "Nigeria First" initiative.
The Minister encouraged Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) to buy locally made goods, stating that the Bureau of Public Procurement is also promoting this initiative. Dr. Oduwole commended Lelook Nigeria Limited for their efforts in domestic production, particularly in the bag-making industry.
Chinwe Ezenwa, the Managing Executive Officer of Lelook Nigeria Bags Academy, expressed hope that the Minister's visit would encourage small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and provide access to markets. The organization aims to train at least 500 youths annually and is exploring various investment options to expand their operations.
