As I watch silverbird television the other day, I saw Senator Ben Murray Bruce speaking on why it's important to patronize Nigerian made goods especially now that we are in a recession. Some of what he said includes:
Boarding Arik air if we are travelling oversea except for countries Arik cannot access.
Instead of importing military clothes and shoes, tailors across the country can be used as well as making the clothes in Nigeria.
Use only cars assembled in Nigeria.
Buy only Nigeria products
Instead of going to London or the USA (thank God Trump is now the President elect. Pray he makes good his threat and send those good brains home to better our lots here), we can decide to visit mabilla plateau or the ubudu cattle range or any other resort around the country.
Until we value that leather shoe from Kano, that school/hand bag from Aba, the Naira will find it difficult to survive.
The recent scarcity of cassava that led to increase in price of the produce was majorly because of insufficient production to cover local consumption and increased exportation if the produce.
