The Nigerian Institute of Leather and Science Technology (NILEST) says plans are underway to establish mini tanneries or factories in all states of the country to process hides and skin into leather.
Busola AroThe Nigerian Institute of Leather and Science Technology says plans are underway to establish mini tanneries or factories in all states of the country to process hides and skin into leather.Yakubu, who is also the chairman of the implementation committee of the national leather policy, said more tanneries are necessary to provide the right infrastructure and technology for the proper processing of leather.
“We are not lacking that but poor infrastructure is what is hindering us, especially power which consumes over 50 per cent of our production cost.” “There must be some concessions. We must provide cheap power to our industries, particularly the leather industries, for them to be able to compete with their foreign counterparts,” Yakubu said.Yakubu also said the establishment of the mini tanneries would reduce the consumption of hides and skin in the country, which was being done largely because the number of industries cannot mop up the excess products generated every day.
