30/10/2013
The government of Nigeria has established a Leather Sector Revolution Committee to develop a strategy for the sustainable growth and development of the leather industry across the country.

The secretary of the Tanners Council, Alhaji Salisu Umar, will serve as chairman while the chairman of Leather and Allied Products Manufacturing Association of Nigeria, Alhaji Bashir Danyaro, will be vice-chairman.

The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Olusegun Aganga, told local reporters: “Developing the leather industry is part of our Industrial Revolution Plan due to the huge opportunities in that sector in terms of job creation, revenue and wealth creation for our people. In addition to ensuring that we create leather clusters and industrial zones in some states such as Kano, we are closely working with the Ministry of Power to provide adequate power to the industrial zones.”
