The senate today at its plenary passed into law the Public Procurement Act 2007 (amendment) bill 2016, which 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.”
