Nigerian local manufacturers need encouragement from the government in terms of finance. When any invention made or discovered in any branch of technology or in other areas, it should be viewed and examined very carefully, no matter how crude the product may look like. This is the first step towards development, sentiments should not play a role in any idea brought forward by any individual no matter which tribe the person comes from, it has to be seen as an idea from a Nigerian citizen.
If government can support local manufacturers financially, most probably they would improve on their system of production. We have seen lots of goods made in Nigeria, there are very effective the only thing required is for the Nigerian government to guide and supervise the activities of those manufacturers by setting up an institution or organization in various areas of specialization which would monitor whatever thing that would come into the Nigerian market for consumption. This means proper specification must be in place, assuming a company or an individual has a product to bring into the market, a standard procedure must be followed so as to avoid a company or an individual producing harmful products which may cause real problems to the Nigerian public. We believe the time to get started is now, the Nigerian government should create the framework for the people to bring out their talents. Most successful countries in the world started like that and now they are leading the world in most important areas anyone can imagine.
Honestly with the talents Nigerians have, yes they can make it to greatness, all what they need is encouragement from the government and the support from the Nigeria public by patronizing made in Nigeria products.
