The National Brands Development and Made-in-Nigeria Special Project Office presented itself as a Federal Government initiative with a wide-ranging mandate to promote Nigerian products, support businesses and drive the country’s transition to a production-led economy.
A check by a PUNCH correspondent of the organisation’s active website on Saturday showed that it described itself as a “strategic initiative” of the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, dedicated to promoting the production, consumption and global visibility of locally made goods and services.

It said its focus was on empowering small and medium-sized enterprises, stimulating industrial growth and repositioning Nigeria as a hub for homegrown innovation and sustainable development.
The organisation said it sought to “enhance self-reliance, reduce import dependence, and create jobs” through national programmes, trade exhibitions, economic forums and brand-development strategies.
