Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Senator Olorunnimbe Mamora has asked the Federal Government to ban all foreign food commodities Nigeria can produce.
Mamora made this known on Tuesday at the ministerial media briefing orgainised by the presidential communications at the Presidential Villa, Abuja,
Mamora said that the country is bereft of investors, while most local inventions are rather dormant and useless.
Mamora said that with all the inventions the ministry has been able to achieve, he said their agencies have come up with one invention or the other but the challenge had always been taking these research outputs to the market.
He said that the ministry would continue to engage the relevant stakeholders, and also thinking of legislation to compel the protection of the inventions before pushing them to the market.
He also called on the government to really come hard in terms of a total banning of importation of things they have the capacity to do locally.
