Little hope for textile industry revival in struggling Nigeria

“We were not able to meet up with those conditions to access the funding … the bureaucracy, you have to give this, you have to give that,” he said. “There should be concessions, like the company income tax, a waiver for about 3-4 years.”Most importantly, Goni is unable to get enough petrol to power the plant’s generators as the major oil producing country grapples with fuel shortages due to its derelict refineries.คำพูดจาก Game Casino

“We can’t operate without black oil (petrol), it’s very expensive and also very scarce,” he said.President Muhammadu Buhari hopes to revive the once flourishing textile and leather industries in northern Nigeria to end the country’s dependence on oil exports and diversify Africa’s biggest economy.But a collapse in vital oil revenues has pushed the West African nation into its first recession in 25 years, making it difficult to provide state loans or improve the erratic power supply that has led to closure of most plants.Adding further woes, a central bank decision to keep the naira currency at a high rate versus the dollar has deterred foreign investors fearing to get caught eventually in yet another devaluation .There have been some limited Chinese investments in recent years into what is left of Nigeria’s leather and textile industry, but most plants have remained closed since throwing in the towel in the 1980s and 1990s.Goni said he had to fire 2,500 workers, joining an army of unemployed from which Boko Haram jihadists waging an insurgency in the northeast have been recruiting.”We are getting the people out of the woods,” he saidคำพูดจาก Nhà Cái Casino Online. “Once we are able to start the factory, we will solve a lot of this problem of unemployment.”
