He added by saying that in the last two years, local carpet manufacturers have totally invested N5 billion to acquire latest machinery and technology, which was invested, despite the many challenges the carpet sector was facing in the country.
He lamented the fact that, energy remained a big problem and more so is the cost of funds which has resulted in high operational costs and despite the government ban on imported carpets, the country was flooded with carpets of poor and sub-standard quality.
