FG urges quick industrialisation to boost economic growth

The Federal Government of Nigeria has called on private sector players particularly in manufacturing to accelerate the adoption of industrialisation for improved productivity, as this will have ripple effect on economic growth.

The government made the call at a roundtable on industrialisation in Africa, organised by the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) themed “Positioning African industries for economic transformation and continental free trade” held in Lagos on Thursday.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, in his keynote address said it has become urgent to accelerate the adoption of industrialisation to hasten growth and also catch up with constantly improving activities in the global space.
