The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) has rescheduled its Nigeria Manufacturers Summit, originally set for June, to take place from July 2nd to 4th, 2024, at the prestigious State House Banquet Hall in Abuja.

MAN’s Director General, Segun Ajayi-Kadir, emphasized that the summit will commence daily at 9am and will be an expedient event for Nigeria’s manufacturing sector.

Following the story on the national news brand, the summit’s subject, “Rethinking Manufacturing,” according to Ajayi-Kadir, emphasises the necessity of creative solutions to increase productivity, sustainability, and competitiveness in Nigeria’s manufacturing sector.

The summit will include in-depth talks on how to leverage technology, improve supply chain resilience, remove major obstacles impeding the sector’s performance, and create a supportive business environment to promote sectoral growth. Along with delegates from government ministries, international organisations, businesses, specialists, and manufacturers from a range of industries, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, will be the summit’s Special Guest of Honour.

At the summit, there will be five main areas of focus for key discussions: growth promotion, productivity and competitiveness enhancement, energy security and infrastructure development, macroeconomic environment improvement and ease of doing business, enhanced ESG considerations, local content development and patronage of products made locally, and leveraging regional and continental trade for export growth.

Continuing, engaging focus groups featuring top government officials, CEOs, authorities in the industry, and thought leaders from the manufacturing sector will be a feature of the Nigeria Manufacturers Summit in 2024. Presentations on performance, best practices, and trends in manufacturing will be featured, along with networking opportunities and displays of cutting-edge Nigerian-made goods, technology, and solutions.

However, key stakeholders, professionals, and enthusiasts in the manufacturing sector are the only ones allowed to attend the summit by invitation only. The National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Ernst and Young (EY), Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment (FMITI), the Presidency, and MAN are collaborating to create a conducive atmosphere for Nigeria’s manufacturing industry. As such, the summit serves as a crucial forum for the advancement of various sectors.
