At a press conference organised by the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry in advance of this month’s Real Estate and Construction Expo 2022, Okuo Leonard, Head, Building Materials Section, NIBRRI, stated that efforts must be made to reduce the high imports of construction materials on behalf of the institute.

“We import over 90 per cent of what we use for road construction and for buildings. Must we go out to get all these things we need?,” he stated.

Leonard added, “All we need is to prepare a conducive platform for indigenous industrialists and investors to come in and harness what we have. We can produce most of these things, use them here and export others.

“Look at the doors we are using, we import them, while we have timber which people export illegally. They will develop the timber there, produce those doors and bring them to Nigeria and sell to us as value added products.”
