Demand for made-in-Nigeria slippers, beverages and noodles soar in countries in the West African sub-region despite the low trade volume witnessed across the Seme-Krake border in Lagos.

Daily Trust investigation at the Seme-Krake border revealed that locally made slippers are now in high demand in countries like Benin Republic, Togo and Burkina.

This rise in the export of locally made goods is despite the low trade volume recorded by the Seme Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service.

Speaking with our correspondent, the Controller of the command, Dera Nnadi, noted that while the demand for foreign made items like slippers by Nigerians was on the increase, neighbouring countries were demanding similar products made in Nigeria.

He said the items that were on high demand on the export list in the sub region included slippers and beverages produced by companies in Nigeria.

He explained that, “Slippers is a very unique product; there are some slippers we manufacture here in Nigeria that are in high demand in West African countries. Similarly, there also some that are also manufactured in other countries in the sub-region that are on high demand in Nigeria

“It is a very funny game actually. I saw a document on the export of slippers. We have the one made in Nigeria which the people there like, and they also have the ones which our people like. But those ones don’t pay duty. Items produced in any ECOWAS nation don’t pay duty.

“For agro produce, we have zobo, we have hibiscus and others.”

The command’s revenue target for the year 2023 stands at N1.96 billion. However, despite the low trade volume, the command has been able to realise about N1.25 billion as duty in the first half of the year.

SW na d industrial power of Nigeria

If only we know our strength,we won't be on line fighting each other.

What we need in this country is healthy competition. Let every region search and bring out what they know best to do.

We have got the brain,the population and the drive. Just small efforts from the government and boom,we go blow.

The truth is that the Government has not been able to create an enabling environment for people to gainfully engage in production of goods in Nigeria.

And an ignorant man will say Nigeria doesn't manufacture anything....

They only thing we don't manufacture here a re tech things, cars and some machines..

Many countries do the same and they are doing well.

Aba to the world.

The headline says ''made in Nigeria products'', but the responses so far from nairalanders shows how disunited we are in this country.

Ashez:
Aba to the world.

You Sabi something. Bakassi boys dey deliver. The volume of footwear from Aba to west African countries are on the increase. Aba to the world.

This is where ABA stands out! Quite unfortunate that Geometric Power Limited is dragging ABA backward at a geometric progression with their incessant power failure.

What the locals produce in SW is skulls. Chinese, Indians, Lebanese and Igbos run the show in SW.

Meanwhile, Onitsha, Aba and Nnewi each are are the powerhouse of local production in Nigeria.
