Nigeria is ready to stop outsourcing of garment making to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Senegal, Mauritania and Ivory Coast, according to Mohammed Haruna, executive vice chairman and chief executive of the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI), which will soon collaborate with states and small and medium scale entrepreneurs to revive collapsed ginneries, particularly those in Gusau, Funtua, Zaria and Sokoto.

Haruna announced this in Daura in Katsina state during the opening ceremony of skill development training and empowerment of 100 youths in modern methods of tailoring and fashion design.

The agency can jointly invest and or have stake in a profit-sharing format to revive textile manufacturing in these regions, he said. 

Haruna said plans were afoot to construct a modern vocational training centre in Daura, Nigerian media reported.
