The Raw Materials Research and Development Council of Nigeria says it is working with Nigerian lawmakers to shut Nigeria’s borders against the importation of raw materials that can be locally sourced.
The Council said it is pushing this through a bill before the National Assembly that has already scaled its first reading.
The Director-General and Chief Executive Officer of the Raw Materials Research and Development Council Professor Nnanyelugo Ike-Muonso, made this known at a one-day interactive session between the council and the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria in Lagos.
Professor Ike-Muonso said the bill when passed, will provide Nigeria with more forex for sourcing raw materials, protect natural resources, and catalyze domestic processing capabilities in the country.
