According to a statement by the minister’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Anthony Ogunleye, Malam Bello emphasised that for Nigeria to develop as a nation, emphasis must be placed on the development of the manufacturing sector.
“The COVID-19 pandemic which resulted in the lockdown of countries around the world revealed that as a nation, Nigeria cannot depend on outsiders as the global lockdown resulted in the disruption of supply chains and manufacturing processes,” the minister said.
Bello also pledged the commitment of the Administration to the development of the industrial zones of Gwagwalada and Kwali as well as the provision of more security to the Idu Industrial Area.
