The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, has urged Nigerians to buy goods manufactured in the country, describing it as an “act of national pride”.
He made the statement when a delegation of the Innoson Group of Companies, led by its Chairman, Chief Innocent Chukwuma, paid a courtesy visit to his office in Abuja on Friday.
He noted that the President Bola Tinubu government is fully committed to creating an enabling environment where indigenous businesses can thrive.
Akume harped on the importance of strengthening Nigeria’s industrial base and scaling up local manufacturing across key sectors of the economy.
“The visit was a timely reminder that patronising Made-in-Nigeria goods isn’t just an economic strategy—it’s an act of national pride. Government remains committed to creating an enabling environment where indigenous businesses can thrive and lead,” he said.

According to him, the government’s Renewed Hope Agenda encapsulates every aspect needed for Nigeria’s dream of realising a one trillion dollar economy in the foreseeable future.
The SGF called on Nigerians not just to support the government’s programmes for economic development and growth but also to make conscious efforts to patronise products made in Nigeria, as they can compete favourably with any other.
