Nigeria should revitalize textile industry as soon as possible

According to a report by Nigeria’s “Guardian” on January 8, the chairman of the Asaba Chamber of Commerce called on the government to revitalize the textile industry as soon as possible to create more jobs. He pointed out that governments at all levels should encourage cotton production and provide a strong environment to encourage the private sector to flourish.

He pointed out that the government must provide good power and transportation conditions, which are the foundation and prerequisite for industrial development. Today a textile company can employ 1,000-10,000 workers, depending on the number of shifts the factory produces.

He pointed out that from the 1960s to the 1980s, the textile industry played a leading role in the Nigerian economy. At that time, factories in Kano and Kaduna employed millions of workers. At that time, the textile industry contributed to the country’s GDP. The contribution is very big. However, as the government’s focus shifted to oil, it neglected to promote the development of the textile industry and agriculture, resulting in serious problems in the development of the industry. Nigeria should revitalize its textile industry as soon as possible
