The National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) has thrown its weight behind President Bola Tinubu’s newly introduced “Nigeria First Policy,” describing it as a “bold, forward-thinking move” that could accelerate Nigeria’s industrial revolution and unlock massive opportunities for indigenous entrepreneurs.
NASENI’s Executive Vice Chairman and CEO, Khalil Suleiman Halilu, stated this in a statement released on Monday, noting that the policy is a game-changer for local manufacturing.
President Tinubu’s directive, which tasks the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) with revising procurement guidelines to favour local suppliers, aims to promote Made-in-Nigeria products by giving them priority in government purchases.
