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.
