The Federal Government of Nigeria has formally granted statutory recognition to the Made in Nigeria Project Office, integrating it under the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF)—a major policy breakthrough aimed at institutionalizing support for indigenous production and industrial growth.
The development, championed by Senator Dr. George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, ensures the Project Office will now receive federal budgetary allocation and institutional backing, enabling it to function with the full weight of government behind its mandate.
Speaking on the announcement, George Buchi Nwabueze, who leads the initiative, hailed the milestone as “a new dawn” for Nigerian entrepreneurs. “With this statutory recognition, we now have the structural and financial support to implement policies that will significantly boost local manufacturing and consumption,” he said.

The statutory upgrade equips the office with the capacity to coordinate nationwide campaigns, strengthen stakeholder engagement, and ensure compliance with government policies that prioritize Nigerian-made products over imports. This aligns with broader national goals to reduce dependence on foreign goods and improve Nigeria’s balance of trade.
The policy move is also expected to position the Made in Nigeria Project as a tool for attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), by enhancing investor confidence in Nigeria’s local value chains and production ecosystems. Analysts believe this will significantly impact job creation and industrial innovation across multiple sectors.
With this structural support, the Project Office is now poised to scale up its interventions—from policy formulation to public-private partnerships—with the ultimate goal of making “Made in Nigeria” a global standard for quality and economic resilience.
This federal endorsement represents a strategic pivot towards sustainable industrialization, as Nigeria repositions itself in the global market through homegrown innovation, enterprise, and economic sovereignty.
