Former President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, has advocated buying what is produced in the country.
The former leader stated that buying made-in-Nigeria goods would help in combating the growing prices of items in the market and promote self-reliance.
He stated this today while speaking with newsmen in Katsina after participating in the Eid prayers with the Emir of Daura, Katsina State, Dr Faruk Umar Faruk.
Buhari praised the efforts of Nigerians who have turned to farming to mitigate rising food prices and ensure national food security.
Reflecting on the large gatherings at Eid celebrations, Buhari raised concern about the potential challenges of unchecked population growth.
He urged Nigerians to come together and support each other during these challenging times, saying, “Given the current situation in the country, and in the spirit of Sallah, let’s assist one another and look out for each other. Wishing everyone a joyous Sallah.”
