Cotton production was once a major contributor to Nigeria’s economy, but the sector has experienced years of decline, leaving farmers and the textile industry struggling.

Now, Nigeria’s legislative arm is taking steps aimed at reducing the importation of textile materials and creating stronger demand for locally produced cotton.

The renewed focus on cotton production could provide fresh opportunities for farmers while supporting efforts to revive Nigeria’s ailing textile industries.

Yahanassu Hassan Barau takes a look at the renewed push to reinvigorate cotton production and its potential role in rebuilding the nation’s textile sector.
