Kadafur pledged the support of the incoming government in the growth of the enterprise to create employment opportunities for the youths and realisation of returns of investment.
The state’s Commissioner of Information, Dr. Muhammadu Bulama said to effectively advocate the Buy Nigeria policy, there was a need to bridge the gap between local demand for replica of desired quality products that are obtainable in foreign markets and the corresponding production capacity to satisfy that demand.

Administrative Manager, West African Ceramics Ltd, Abdulrahim Bello said the showroom was a partnership between his company and Amood Projects Ltd.
