Ben Murray-Bruce is a former senator from Bayelsa State.
Ben Murray-Bruce, says it is a great betrayal for various Nigerian governments to continue to buy foreign-made vehicles for its officials when Innoson Motors can meet such need.
The former senator, who served in the upper chamber between June 2015 and June 2019, urged Nigerians to patronise locally made products in order to help grow the naira, which has continued to suffer reduction in value at the various markets. “As a private citizen, you can buy whatever you want with your funds. Even at that, if you love Nigeria, you ought to buy made in Nigeria to grow the naira,” Mr Murray-Bruce stated.
The politician said there was a need for the Nigerian government to consider “amending the Public Procurement Act 2007” to make patronage of local products mandatory by law.
