Senate passes law enforcing the purchase of made-in-Nigeria goods

The senate at its plenary today passed into law the Public Procurement
Act 20‎07 (amendment) bill 2016, which among other things compels
government in all the three tiers, to purchase made-in-Nigeria goods.
Speaking after the passage of the bill, senate President, Bukola Saraki,
said

“In stimulating our economy, we all have a role to play to ensure that
the executive complies especially in the area of giving first priority
to locally-produced goods. This has helped many countries to develop
when they had issues of downturn in their economy. I want to commend my
colleagues for passing this bill‎.”
