Nigeria gets absolutely wrecked economically despite controlling the global shea butter game. Senator Muhammad Bima Enagi claims the nation provides nearly half the planetary supply yet pockets almost nothing from that massive multi-billion dollar industry. He argues outsiders exploit raw goods while locals receive mere scraps.
Trying to fix this mess involves the National Shea Development Council Bill, which Enagi sponsored to spark domestic manufacturing. That legislation allegedly brought heavy investment to the Niger South Senatorial District within Niger State for the construction of a massive refining plant.
Existing facilities reportedly sit half empty because they lack sufficient input despite having high theoretical limits. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu recently stopped raw nut shipments to force internal production and help the administration chase a target of three hundred million dollars quarterly.
Enagi believes treating this commodity seriously could save the economy in his region. He plans on running again later to ensure the sector actually develops properly instead of just enriching international corporations.
