Britons Now Buy Made-In-Nigeria Suits – FG

The Federal Government’s policy of patronising
made-in-Nigeria goods by the citizens is yielding
results as some citizens of the United Kingdom
now order for Nigeria locally made suits,
Vanguard claims.

This came as Nigerian citizens residing in China
have appealed to the Federal Government to
involve them in any bilateral relations so that
they could make some expertise inputs that will
benefit the country.

Senior Special Assistant to the President on
Foreign Affairs and Diaspora Matters, Mrs. Abike
Dabiri-Eruwa, who disclosed the remarkable
improvement the made-in-Nigeria goods have
made when she received some Nigerians living in
the United Kingdom and the People Republic of
China, who paid her a visit at the Presidential
Villa, said the economic challenges the
administration met had helped it to look inwards.
She advised the youths to be good ambassadors
of the country and identify with the Government at
their home country.

She said: “We have people like you in the
Diaspora that are doing great things anywhere in
the world.

The passion that you also bring to your country
is very encouraging. There are some who came
to the UK and they decided that they were going
to sew their suits in Nigeria.

“These are British citizens who decided that the
suits they got in Nigeria were better than the one
they saw in their host country and got our locally
made designers to make these suits for them and
they do them in dozens.”
