NAFDAC disowns viral ‘fake products’ list, warns Nigerians against misinformation

President Bola Tinubu has stated that the introduction of high-quality, standardized products manufactured within Nigeria would prompt Nigerian consumers to exclusively choose domestically-produced goods and services. His administration's primary goal is to improve the quality of domestically manufactured products, with the expectation that "upon optimization of Nigerian-manufactured products, domestic consumption will naturally follow."

Tinubu emphasized the importance of leveraging Nigerians' innovative capabilities to generate significant economic value for the nation, highlighting the administration's commitment to creating quality employment opportunities, robust global industrial competitiveness, expanded export capabilities, and enhanced citizen welfare. Addressing a group of innovators at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Tinubu emphasized that science, technology, and innovation are crucial to achieving national ambitions.

He stressed that his government is equipping young people with knowledge and tools to compete in today's and tomorrow's industries, turning modern talent and resources into domestic industrial production strength. Tinubu highlighted that research must respond to industrial needs, innovation must reach the market, investment must build productive capacity, and growth must create opportunities across Nigeria.

He addressed the event when Executive Vice Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure, NASENI, Khalil Suleiman Halilu, added that Nigeria must shift from consumption to creation, becoming a nation that develops technology, converts potential into products, companies, industries, and jobs.
