Patronage of Locally Produced Goods, The Way Forward For Our Survival As a Nation - Ikpeazu

Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has reemphasized the need for Nigerians to take pride in and patronize locally made products as a way of boosting the local economy. 


The Governor was speaking when he received a delegation from a local company engaged in the production of electrical cables, CUTIX Plc who visited him at Government Lodge, Aba. He said if Nigerians patronize locally made products, the local manufacturers would not meet the demands of the citizens not to talk of exporting them, and stressed the need for Nigerian manufacturers to begin to blow their own trumpets and challenge themselves by constantly improving on their products. 

Governor Ikpeazu used the opportunity to inform his guests that the Enyimba Economic City when fully realized would be the only Free Trade Zone in Nigeria with uninterrupted power supply. He added that the zone would provide a manufacturing platform for people of the South East zone. He told the delegation to take advantage of the opportunity provided by the Enyimba Economic City. 


He commended the entrepreneur for his contributions to the locally made products and congratulated him for blazing the trail in  electricity cables. He assured them that his administration will partner with the company by patronizing them and giving them the opportunity to handle the electrical works in some ongoing projects.
The company production facility is in Nnewi, Anambra State.
