“Improving value chain in the manufacturing sector for competitiveness and job creation.” Nigeria
The president, MAN, Mansur Ahmed, expressed hope that the directive would be short-lived in a bid to create a long term sustainable measure to tackle smuggling hindering the growth of the manufacturing sector.
“Manufacturing activities cut across different stages and it is important that at every stage of the value chain, there is enough capacity and support to integrate various value-chains so that value moves from the beginning to the end. Very often, the people who produce the initial goods do not make as much money when compared to the people who carry out the final processing of these goods,” he said.
“The more we use more of our local raw materials, the more our manufacturers expand, grow and employ more people and the more they create value as a whole. Made-in-Nigeria is not only consuming what you produce, but producing what you consume and it is the best way to enrich your country and the best way to spread wealth and alleviate poverty”, he added.
“My advice is that we must use Made-in-Nigeria; we must use what we produce and consume what we produce. No country can be great without the support of its own people. The issue of insecurity is largely due to the high unemployment rate and if this sector is being supported, they will create more jobs and more opportunities to make peace,” he said.
