The minister stated that this initiative aligns with the government’s goal of prioritizing local production and ensuring that public funds are allocated to Nigerian-made products. “It’s Adire. Adire is produced in Nigeria, particularly in Ogun and Kwara, where we have a textile industry. We need to reinvest our money into the country,” Olawande said.
