MAN urges FG to promote incentives in driving manufacturing growth

The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) has called on the federal government to help drive growth in the manufacturing sector by ensuring that incentives, intervention programs and policies are broad enough to cover all sector payers, particularly those with linking activities.

Mansur Ahmed, president, MAN said this at the 6th edition of the MAN reporter of the year award and presidential media luncheon, where he noted that although the government and its agencies are making efforts to improve economic and commercial activities for businesses through the provision of intervention funds, enabling policies, etc. This, he said, will have minimal impact if such efforts are restricted to specific sub-sectors or businesses.
