CONTENT OF THE LESSON

INTRODUCTION

People use different goods every day, such as food, clothing, furniture, electronics, shoes, and household items. Some of these goods are produced in Nigeria, while others are produced in other countries and brought into Nigeria.

Nigerian-made goods can support local businesses, provide employment opportunities, and contribute to national economic development. Foreign-made goods also provide consumers with access to products that may not be produced locally.

In this lesson, pupils will learn about the meaning and examples of Nigerian-made and foreign-made goods and the difference between them.

MEANING OF NIGERIAN-MADE GOODS

Nigerian-made goods are products produced, manufactured, processed, or assembled in Nigeria using local resources, materials, labour, or a combination of local and imported inputs.

They are goods made by Nigerian businesses, industries, farmers, artisans, and manufacturers for use within Nigeria or for export.

EXAMPLES OF NIGERIAN-MADE GOODS

Examples include:

• Nigerian-made clothing and traditional fabrics

• Furniture made by Nigerian artisans and manufacturers

• Processed food products

• Cement produced in Nigeria

• Leather products such as shoes and bags

• Nigerian-made building materials

• Agricultural products such as rice, beans, cocoa, and palm products
