The Senate President, Olubukola Saraki has applauded the quality of goods manufactured in Nigeria.
Saraki was a keynote speaker on Monday, at the Made in Aba Trade fair, an event that celebrates products manufactured within the shores of Nigeria, particularly in the Eastern part of the nation.
The senate president expressed his surprise at the quality of the products put on display at the trade fair while vowing to ensure that the manufacturers are given a good ground to continually grow.
Posting on his Twitter page, the senate president declared that the House of Assembly will work to create laws that will see to it that made in Nigeria goods are patronised first and foremost before their imported counterparts.

Here today at the made in Aba trade fair. With the right support, made in Nigeria products can match international standard.
