MANEG Unveils Strategic Roadmap for Nigerian Manufacturing

The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria Export Promotion Group (MANEG) has identified competitiveness, innovation, and global relevance as crucial for the future of Nigerian manufacturing. During the unveiling of a 2026/2027 strategic roadmap, newly appointed Chairman Mrs. Ruth Owojaiye, who is also the Director of Corporate and Regulatory Affairs at British American Tobacco Nigeria (BATN), stated that these elements are essential for Nigerian manufacturers to succeed in both African and global markets.

The roadmap focuses on four pillars: strengthening strategic engagements, enhancing awareness and utilization of export incentives, access to export finance, and export capacity development. Owojaiye noted that Nigeria has the necessary resources and industrial capacity to become a leading manufacturing hub in Africa, but this requires a shift towards export readiness.

MANEG aims to improve collaboration with government institutions and financial organizations to strengthen the export ecosystem, while also addressing the limited awareness of export-related incentives among local manufacturers.
