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.”
