Betta Edu, minister of humanitarian affairs and poverty alleviation, says the federal government will subsidise the production of adire, a local fabric, and establish industrial hubs in Nigeria.
Edu, who also visited the fabric’s production grounds in Asero, Ogun, said “the government would create an industrial hub across the country to further boost revenue for market women”. “First, you must be able to push local production to meet the demand. Local production must be enhanced at all costs to meet the demand.
With this, Edu said, jobs will be created, as well as build the micro and macro economy — helping Nigeria to become a manufacturing country rather than an importing nation.
