Wear Nigerian fabrics, eat local food, Soludo urges citizens

Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo, urged citizens to embrace a culture of economic patriotism by purchasing, wearing, and consuming locally-made Nigerian products. He argued that this grassroots approach would be more effective in driving industrialization and job creation than government policies alone. Soludo, who appeared in traditional Akwete fabric, emphasized that individual consumer choices, when multiplied across Nigeria's population of over 200 million, could significantly transform the nation's economic landscape.

He highlighted that his administration in Anambra serves only locally-made food and drinks, except on rare occasions, and urged the adoption of Nigerian fabrics at all official events.
