Tinubu’s 'Made-in-Nigeria' Push: Local Industries to Get Priority in Govt Spending

President Tinubu is set to sign an executive order that will direct government spending toward Nigerian-made goods and services—no imports unless a local option is truly unavailable.

The goal? Boost homegrown industries and keep more of the country’s N54.99 trillion ($34.3 billion) budget circulating within Nigeria.

“This is a major shift in government policy aiming to put Nigeria at the heart of all our businesses in this country,” Nigeria’s Information Minister Mohammed Idris Malagi told a briefing in Abuja.
