The Federal Government has launched the ‘Nigeria First’ policy, aimed at prioritizing locally made goods to boost domestic industries.
Announced by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, the policy has sparked widespread conversation on social media platforms, with the hashtag
NigeriaFirst trending. The initiative seeks to reduce reliance on imports, strengthen local manufacturing, and create jobs.
However, some Nigerians have expressed concerns about implementation challenges, citing past policy failures. The policy’s rollout is seen as a response to ongoing economic pressures, including inflation and foreign exchange constraints.
