I have often wonder between manufacturing industries or services industries, which is more important to Nigeria's economy? I noticed that manufacturing industries get a lot of attention and support from government of any country compared to services industries.

Most government try to give protection and incentives to the manufacturing industries of their countries. Some even use protection of local manufacturing industries in their election campaign like Donald Trump.

Whereas services industries such as Transportation, Information Technology, Medical services,, Education, Consulting, etc is not considered worthwhile compared to manufacturing industries in most countries of the world .
What do you think is the reason?
