Nigeria’s largest and credible marketplace for home made products and services, Produced in Nigeria (PIN): www.producedinnigeria.com, has been launched.
This laudable project is coming at a time when the quest to earn foreign exchange through promotion and patronage of wholly Nigerian products is needed to set Nigeria’s economy on the move.
Speaking during the official presentation of PIN in Lagos over the weekend, the promoter of the innovative venture, Olori Bukola Ojo, said increase in the patronage of made in Nigeria’s goods is the solution to ending the country’s economic woes, and an alternative to over dependence on oil and gas.
She called on Nigerians in the diaspora to take advantage of the new innovation to patronize made in Nigeria products and services.
Though, she admitted that there are challenges of trust in made in Nigeria products. All the same, she encouraged Nigerians to have faith in the offerings of PIN as they would only market verified quality products and services on the platform.
She used the opportunity to call on government to support initiatives like PIN and discourage importation of goods, especially those that can be produced within the country so as to encourage local manufacturers.
