Senate passes two bills to protect local industries, procurement practices
The Nigerian Senate passed two amendment bills intended to protect domestic manufacturing. One bill focuses on strengthening local industry within the country's economic rules. The other seeks to align public procurement practices with international standards. Together, the measures would give domestic suppliers greater prominence while establishing broader benchmarks for government purchasing. The Senate's action moves both proposals through the wider lawmaking process, with implementation details still to come. The report did not provide the vote tally or the full legal text of either amendment.
