Minister
of Science and Technology, Ogbonaya Onu says Nigeria will start
manufacturing her own pencil within the next 2 years. Ogbonnaya said
this during a facility tour of Projects Development Institute (PRODA)
in Enugu State yesterday January 5th. He said the local manufacturing of
pencils will provide 400, 000 jobs for unemployed Nigerians
“It
is unthinkable that 55 years after independence, Nigeria is still not
producing pencils when we have the human and material resources in the
country. PRODA has to produce pencils for Nigeria and they have given me
the assurance that this can be done and that with pencil manufacture
here, we will be creating 400,000 new jobs. The (Muhammadu) Buhari
administration is committed to creating new jobs and growing our
economy,” he said.
