Senator Adams Oshiomhole, the lawmaker representing Edo North in the 10th Senate has called on President Bola Tinubu to immediately stop the importation of products manufactured by companies that exited the country.
The former governor of Edo State who spoke on Thursday said that if the multinational companies had considered the country to be bad for their company’s growth, they should not be allowed to make Nigeria a dumping ground for their products.
Oshiomhole, who was a guest speaker at Prof. Emeka Umerah’s Public Lecture, organized in Solidarity with President Bola Tinubu’s Administration, said that companies like Michelin, Dunlop, Toyota and many others exited the soil of Nigeria, but still have their products flood the country.
According to Oshiomhole, the companies have moved to build another country’s economy, by providing job opportunities for the citizens of such a country, and therefore should not be allowed to be reaping from Nigeria where they are not contributing anything to its GDP.
