Our Business men running to china to bring in very cheap but poor quality products killed the few industries that were making headway in the 80s and 90s. The most obvious was the textile industry.They pick samples of these products and manufacture the inferior ones and bring them in and sell at cheap prices. Sometimes they sell them as the original product, because an unsuspecting customer may not know the difference. If you go to the Onitsha Main Market you will see the all sorts of items brought in from China and of very poor quality, Products that can be locally produced, you will weep for Nigeria.
Even when they produce things locally like shoes and sandals, they put foreign labels to sell. . Any attempt to barn such goods will be termed Marginalization . The problem is complex.

On the one hand, it's good news that Nigeria looks forward to rejuvenating its productive capacity, specifically by producing/manufacturing its own pencils. On the other hand, given where things are in this 21st century when well-positioned and well-managed nations/societies are engaging in high tech and advanced systems manufacturing in various industrial sectors and the best of them-all are, in fact, looking forward to sending a mission to MARS, the fact that Nigeria is simultaneously just on the threshold of manufacturing something as technologically elementary as a pencil, does say something (does it not?) about how far the nation has retrogressed, and not progressed, in science and technology.
