The Made-By-Nigerians Project has announced the launch of its global marketplace, inviting partners to support local innovation in-country and collaborate in showcasing the finest Nigerian-made goods on a global platform.
The Chief Project Officer for MBN, Chidimma Okoli, in a release, stated that the platform was launched to showcase local brands to the global market.
“Our goal is to build a robust global community around Nigerian brands, promote customer loyalty, and a sense of pride for Nigerians in our locally made products.
“We have made significant strides with partnerships such as the MBN Fair in collaboration with Sterling Bank, quarterly webinars, and an upcoming exhibition at the Kaduna Food Festival, to be held in April,” she enunciated.
According to Okoli, Made-By-Nigerians was developed to connect Nigerian businesses with local and international markets, highlighting the diversity and quality of products made in the country.
“Since its launch, the MBN platform has grown to a marketplace of over 7,000 merchants offering global standard products and services to customers from across the globe. The MBN platform also serves as a resource hub for accessing information on grants and low-cost funding opportunities, supporting businesses in their growth journey,” he declared.
The country is import-dependent, importing goods worth N6.36tn in 2022, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
