President Muhammadu Buhari has hinted that Nigerians get ready to patronise products made in the country after he pledged that his administration will implement essential reforms to protect Nigerian manufacturers from unfair competition from abroad.

“We will no longer allow our markets to be flooded with things we can produce ourselves. We must believe in our system. Whenever you need my intervention at anytime, please come to me, ” President Buhari told the Permanent Secretary, Abdulkadir Musa and senior officials.

At a meeting with the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, and senior officials of relevant agencies, President Buhari stressed that with its focus on job creation, his government was ready to do whatever it considers necessary to boost domestic manufacturing and industrialisation.

The President said that his administration will fully support the effective implementation of the plan evolved by the Ministry to boost local manufacturing through legal, regulatory and structural reforms, lower interest rates, special intervention funds, protection of local manufacturers and significant improvements in national infrastructure.

“With high interest rates and entrepreneurs needing trillions of Naira to buy machinery, we are virtually back at Ground Zero as far as industrial development is concerned.

“So, we will shun all anti-development policies, and make the climate more suitable for entrepreneurs. We will create the environment for them to thrive. Generating employment was one of our key campaign promises and we will keep that promise.

The Permanent Secretary and his team told the President that the objective of the Ministry’s Industrialisation Plan was to create more jobs, diversify exports and broaden the country’s tax base.

They said that the plan’s critical success factors included dialogue and consultation with industry stakeholders, essential reforms and greater collaboration among relevant agencies.

didn't you read this part? And where he said whenever they need his intervention, they should come to him? This is just one of the few ways. You are just too quick to criticize

wellcom development if its a true patriotic vision........i pray 1 day for my nigerian producers dat ur goods will sail beyond dis shores

Yes when his daughter Zahra stop patronizing Channel and Versace even when her dad was broke...

We ve been driving Innoson made cars when our darling Gej was in power so I don't see any new thing he is advocating

sometimes, I wonder how some of you reason. Now tell me, is this not a step in the right direction? I am surre u didn't even read the post @ all. Common sense should tell you, by doing this, employment opportunities will be created.

You can't fix all Nigeria problems @ the same time even if u have a magic wand.

You guys are just Annoyingly gullible.

I'd rather patronise imported quality products than fake and substandard home made products....I think relevant agencies such as SON should scrutinise home made products to ensure they meet world standards and by so doing, locally manufactured goods would be patronised by Nigerians...

Take this your dirty language off my face. Language of the bigots.

If Jonathan had not handled the issue like a clueless man which he is, insurgency would have been a thing of the past.

Its sad to see some pple rejoicing over the attacks by these terrorists.

Mogidi:

I dash you the suit, carry go.

KOLZY:

. Hahahhahahah, i don tire for this demented man oooo tomoro adesina go deny

You don't have to tell us this. When we start seeing Made-in-Nigeria products, we'll definitely buy.

Work on Power and you'll see local products flood the market.

Many presidents have had even more grandeur plans. Mehn I remember Abacha's Vision 2020 and I felt so proud to be Nigerian, but nothing came to fruition. I hope Buhari's plan succeeds thought, but i'm quite doubtful.

Is that the biggest challenge we facing
