Patronise Made-In-Nigeria Products To Boost Our Economy, Dangote Tells Nigerians
The President and Chief Executive Officer of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, has said the only way to strengthen the nation’s economy is if Nigerians embrace homegrown products.
The business giant also said doing so is a source of job creation for Nigeria’s teeming youth population.
Speaking in a video message shared on X on Saturday, the billionaire industrialist appealed to citizens to prioritise locally manufactured goods over imported alternatives, stressing that doing so would help build a self-reliant economy.
Dangote said, “I want to encourage all Nigerians to buy only made in Nigeria. When you buy anything made in Nigeria, you are helping to create jobs.
“And the only way for us to be a stronger nation is to patronise ourselves and be buying made in Nigeria only so that we can create jobs and prosperity. Thank you. Thank you for watching and may God bless you.”
Dangote has consistently championed local production and industrialisation, with his conglomerate expanding into sectors such as cement, sugar, salt, and oil refining in a bid to reduce Nigeria’s dependence on imports.
