The House Committee on Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring has stated that the National Assembly remains committed to providing the legislative framework and oversight.
It stated that this is to ensure full implementation of the presidential vision of ‘Nigeria’s First Goods and Services’ across Nigeria’s industrial ecosystem.
The Committee, led by its Chairman, Hon. Boma Goodhead, stated this during an oversight visit to Zobis Cable Nigeria Ltd. in Onitsha, Anambra State, on Thursday.
Itnl noted that what it witnessed at the plant reaffirmed Nigeria’s capacity to produce world-class industrial materials to meet the technical demands of the oil and gas, energy, and construction sectors.
The Chairman commended the company for its strict adherence to the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development (NOGICD) Act, its deployment of modern production technologies, and its drive for value addition and import substitution.
“The scale of investment here shows that indigenous manufacturers are ready to compete globally if given the right policy support, visibility, and access to the oil and gas value chain,” she said.
The Committee ssid the company’s progress aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s Presidential Directives which mandates MDAs, especially in oil, gas, power, and infrastructure, to prioritise patronage of locally manufactured goods as a pathway to economic growth, job creation, and technological self-reliance.
“This visit is part of our broader legislative mandate to promote, monitor, and strengthen local content participation nationwide. By shining a spotlight on companies like Zobis Cable, we are sending a clear message: the era of dependence on imported cables must give way to Nigerian self-reliance,” the Chairman declared.
“Their success story exemplifies the spirit of Nigerian Content — Made in Nigeria, Trusted by the World. Together, we will continue to work toward a future where Nigeria’s industrial capacity defines her economic strength and technological sovereignty,” the Chairman added.
