Nollywood actor and comedian, Okon Lagos, whose real name is Imeh Bishop Umoh, has urged Nigerian president, President Bola Tinubu to redirect the factories of victimized luxury brands to Nigeria following the imposition of trade tariffs on Chinese products by the US President, Donald Trump.
Recall, U.S. President Donald Trump recently announced a 245 per cent tariff on all Chinese imports into the U.S. as the trade war between both countries continues to escalate.
The move comes after China retaliated with an 84 per cent tariff on American goods in response to an earlier 104 per cent tariff imposed by the U.S., reports CNN.
