Dangote stated, “I want to encourage all Nigerians to buy only made in Nigeria. When you buy anything made in Nigeria, you are helping to create jobs.”
He highlighted that patronizing local industries empowers small and medium enterprises, reduces the country’s dependence on imports, and helps build a sustainable economic future. Dangote, whose business empire spans cement, sugar, salt, and petroleum, has long been an advocate for industrialization and self-reliance in Nigeria.
Experts have consistently echoed his call, noting that increased demand for Nigerian products can stimulate local manufacturing and attract foreign investment. This, in turn, can lead to economic growth and job creation, particularly among young people.
Dangote’s message serves as a reminder that every Nigerian has a role to play in shaping the country’s prosperity one purchase at a time.
