#GrowNaira: Dino Melaye Poke Fun on Adams Oshiomole for Marrying A foriegner

Senator Dino Melaye representing Kogi West in the Senate poke fun on Edo state governor Adams Oshiomole for marrying a foreigner.   According to the Senator, while  contributing to a motion by the Senate yesterday, which asked the Federal Government to urgently initiate and implement the First Option Policy on purchase of locally manufactured products for government and its agencies for the strengthening the Naira, said marrying foreigners was one of the things that weakened the Naira

He said,

I want to celebrate the ‘Made-in-Nigeria senator’ for bringing up this motion. In considering goods produced in Nigeria, we must look at the enabling factors that will necessitate the goods.
It is beyond having one made in Nigeria attire and having over 70 designers’ attires in your wardrobe. We must reduce the allocation for made-in-Nigeria goods and services to the basics.

What are those factors limiting the production of these goods? We must tackle them. We must also begin to look at our legislation, then we will begin to talk about made-in-Nigeria goods.
We will also move in order to encourage made-in-Nigeria products and begin to talk about made-in-Nigeria women. Apologies to my uncle, the Governor of Edo State, we must as a people stop paying dowries in dollars and pounds. It is time for my colleagues here to become born again.
