Erisco boss noted that the economy is at risk of cancer “when we import our products even as he stressed that continuous importation will expose our economy to cancer and create more injuries to our export potential and this will continue to haunt us, and wound our investment drive. “
He said, ‘when we buy foreign products, we are wounding our economy and also at risk of putting cancer into our economy.’

He urged Nigerians to gear up efforts to improve patronage of locally made products while affirming that the continuous patronage of foreign products will expose us to a cancerous economy.
