Folay Industries, a Nigerian-owned FMCG manufacturer based in the Lekki Free Zone, has invested over ₦11 billion in local production, sourcing grains domestically and creating jobs through backward integration. The firm is part of a rising group of indigenous producers replacing imports with competitive made-in-Nigeria goods, supporting MSME suppliers and rural enterprises in the process. Read also, Edun commended the progress and reaffirmed the Federal Government's support for private-sector investments that drive industrialisation, deepen supply chains, expand exports, and generate sustainable employment. He noted that companies like Folay Industries demonstrate a shift toward value-added production — a key priority for economic diversification and long-term national growth. | | | |
