The Federal Government of Nigeria has been urged to ban import of foreign fabrics to revive the nation’s ailing textile mills. According to Alhaji Sani Muhammad, the Administrative Secretary of Zamfara Textile Industry located in Gusau, importation of textile materials had led to the collapse of the nation’s textile sector.
Muhammad lamented that Zamfara Textile, established in 1965, had layed off over 2, 500 workers in 2004. It is unfortunate that the industry is not able to come back fully.
