Nigeria wants to make a big change. They don't want to keep buying lots of adhesive products from other countries anymore. Every year, they spend $13.291 million on these products. That's a huge amount of money! But now, the Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute (NBRRI) says, "No more!" They want Nigeria to start making its own adhesive products. This way, Nigeria can save money and make its economy stronger.
Why is this important? Adhesive products, also known as adhesives, are used for many things like building and fixing machines. Right now, Nigeria buys adhesives from other countries, but it costs a lot. Nigeria wants to change that.
The NBRRI is leading this change. They want Nigeria to start making its own adhesive products. This means they need to build factories and hire people to work in them. It's like starting a new business. But it's good for Nigeria because it creates jobs and helps the economy grow.
Making adhesive products in Nigeria will also help the environment. When we buy things from other countries, they have to be shipped here. This uses a lot of fuel and creates pollution. But if Nigeria makes its own adhesive products, they don't need to be shipped. This means less pollution and a healthier planet.
Producing adhesive products locally also supports small businesses. Instead of buying from big companies in other countries, Nigeria can support local businesses. This keeps more money in Nigeria and helps local communities.
But making adhesive products isn't easy. Nigeria needs help from experts and other countries. They need to learn how to make good adhesive products and sell them at a good price. They also need to make sure they're safe to use. This takes time and hard work.
The NBRRI is helping Nigeria with this. They are giving money and advice to people who want to make adhesive products. They are also teaching them how to make them better. This helps Nigeria become better at making things.
By making adhesive products, Nigeria can become a leader in Africa. They can sell their adhesive products to other countries and make even more money. This helps Nigeria become stronger and more independent.
But Nigeria can't do this alone. They need help from the government and other countries. They need to make good rules for making adhesive products. They also need help with buying machines and training workers.
Together, Nigeria can stop buying adhesive products every year and start making their own. This helps the economy, the environment, and local businesses. It's a big change, but it's worth it. Nigeria can be proud of what they can do.
