“My Late Wife Was An American, Yet, She Lived With Me In Nigeria, Contributing To Our Country’s Economic Growth Through Her Businesses”- Ben Bruce Speaks On Why More Nigerians Needs To Buy Made In Nigeria

Benedict Murray-Bruce is a Nigerian business magnate and politician. He is the founder of Silverbird Group. A member of the People’s Democratic Party, he was elected to the Senate of Nigeria in March 2015 where he represented the Bayelsa East Senatorial District, in Bayelsa State, Nigeria.

Just recently, the politician expressed his thoughts on ways to enhance the economy as the naira continues to depreciate against dollars. Sharing on X he wrote:

“For almost a decade, I have been a proud owner of several Innoson vehicles. I bought a staff bus to take Silverbird staff to and from work, an SUV, and a Sedan. So, I am heavily invested in #BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira. 

My late wife was an American. Yet, she lived with me in Nigeria, contributing to our country’s economic growth through her businesses. Too often, our people invest more in criticism and pull him down, which is why Nigeria has few helpers. You get up, roll your sleeves and want to help, and people begin to find problems for your solutions rather than solutions for your problems. 

Anyway, it comes with the territory. Every month, I pay over a thousand Nigerians whom I encourage to buy Nigerian. And now that the CBN has ended the economically senseless policy of defending the Naira with $1.5 billion
monthly, we need more Nigerians to buy made in Nigeria”.
