FG commited to supporting local manufacturers--OSINBAJO

Vice president Yemi Osinbajo has said that the federal government was passionately committed to supporting local manufacturers to excel in their various business concerns.

Osinbajo who was on a visit to the Onitsha industrial layout known as the Onitsha Harbour, said he was sent by the president Mohammadu Buhari to come and have a first appraisal of the technological works going on in Anambra state.

He hailed the entrepreneurial spirit of the easterners, saying that the state was very special based on their spirit of hard work which has made them the entrepreneurial center of the country.

The vice president also revealed that the federal government was working towards opening technological hubs in some of the key states like Lagos, Abuja and Portharcourt, and other states to be chosen to train graduates and non-graduates on technology, which he noted was the way of the future.

We want to challenge the world through the training of our youths on technology. What the industrialists are doing here is very crucial to this country and the federal government is not only interested in it but is ready to do anything possible as well as look for ways to assist in making it work better." Osinbajo said.
