How Buying Local Saved Nigeria N173bn – And Why You Should Care
Between January and June 2025, Nigeria saved over N173 billion by choosing local suppliers in public procurement. That money stayed in Nigerian pockets instead of leaving the country. Afreximbank suggests non-oil export receipts could climb by 40% by the end of 2026. This isn’t just a forecast – it’s a dare to apply the same local-first logic to global trade. If you make anything with your hands, machinery, land or skills, don’t wait for permission. The Made in Nigeria Project Office has an open door. Reach out and make your case. If you only buy goods, ask where each item came from. If it wasn’t made within 200 km of you, ask why.
