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.”
