Seven years after the Nigerian Industrial Revolution Plan, the goal of making Nigeria the preferred manufacturing hub in West Africa has not produced tangible benefits for the country. Inequality, poverty and unemployment rates remain high and in some regions insecurity has worsened. But if a new industrial strategy is needed, what issues should be the focus?
The average income of Nigerians, measured by GDP per capita, is at a lower level than it was ten years ago. To this end, one of the major challenges facing the Nigerian economy is its inability to provide sufficient jobs for Nigerians. Flaws in the structure of the economy, alongside large inequalities, meant that even in the early 2000s when the country experienced higher economic growth jobs were not created, and poverty actually increased . The gains largely accrued to political and business elites.
Similar to many African countries, Nigeria is faced with the task of industrialisation – moving away from production and exports dominated by commodities to higher value economic activities such as manufacturing. The 2014 Nigerian Industrial Revolution Plan (NIRP) had the stated objectives of making the country the preferred manufacturing hub in West Africa; the preferred source for supplying low and medium technology consumer and industrial goods domestically and regionally; diversifying and increasing government income and exports; and pursuing job and wealth creation, and import substitution. Industries would focus on agro-allied, metals and solid minerals, oil and gas, construction, light manufacturing and services.
Seven years since the launch of the NIRP, the Plan is considered to have struggled to meet its objectives; the oil sector still accounts for 65% of government revenue; the unemployment rate has jumped to 33% ; almost half of the country is living in poverty; and between 2014 and 2019, exports have declined by 54% and continue to be dominated by crude oil.
Current internal and external realities mean Nigeria should review its industrial strategy. One of these is the launch of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), which aims to gradually eliminate tariffs on over 90% of goods and services produced and traded within the continent. Another issue is the changing investment landscape in the oil and gas industry, as climate pressures heighten and international protocols advance. A third important issue is the worsening state of insecurity in Nigeria, and the need for all development and growth policies to contribute to finding solutions to the challenge. There are also suggestions that changes in the global economy means late industrialisers need to pay more attention to industries without smokestacks . Finally, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected global affairs in many ways that should be taken into account in national planning.
What issues should drive a new industrial strategy in Nigeria?
A new strategy should decisively address the issues of poverty, unemployment and inequality. At the core of these issues is the provision of good jobs for Nigerians. Significantly increased employment can no longer be viewed as a natural outcome of industrial policies but must be at the centre of policy design. According to the International Monetary Fund, Nigeria needs to create five million jobs per annum over the next 10 years in order to close its unemployment gap. These jobs can only be created with an incredible effort focussed on promoting local and foreign investment in labour-intensive sectors, such as agri-processing, which involve factories that employ lower-skilled labour – in abundance in Nigeria. Strategies for further improving the country’s business environment should also be more realistic and learn lessons from past attempts. Further, jobs can contribute to reducing levels of insecurity in the country.
A new industrial strategy should also reflect the internal disparities within Nigeria. The country’s northern region is in a developmentally worse situation than the south and has a higher amount of unskilled to low-skilled labour, as well as greater agricultural activity. By extension, this means that agri-processing factories may in the short to medium term be well-suited to the region. On the other hand, some parts of the southern region are experiencing growth in the services industry, with financial technology organisations, for example, attracting labour and investments. Although a focus on services may not make sense for the entire country, a mix of policies promoting services and manufacturing dependent on the land and labour profiles of certain regions may be advisable. These disparities should also inform pragmatic plans for human capital development across the country – a critical component of any growth policy.
These should further work alongside strategies to boost exports and productivity growth. Although the NIRP sought to increase exports, its import substitution approach presented several challenges. Policies from the Nigerian government and its central bank have focused on trying to curb imports, a losing battle, given that total imports jumped in 2020 despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of working to control imports, policymakers should focus on eliminating the challenges facing existing and would-be exporters. These include logistical issues at Nigerian ports, as well as access to forex for critical inputs. A strong export push can contribute to productivity growth, given that producers will be forced to compete internationally. The AfCFTA provides an additional platform for exporting ‘made in Nigeria’ products.
Value chains have always been an important part of industrial strategies and continue to hold this status. In the context of Nigeria, more attention should be paid to integrating Nigerian producers into value chains at all levels national, regional, continental and global. Indeed, national and regional value chains are critical to the demand and supply of inputs for agri-processing, and global value chains are needed for breaking into global manufacturing markets. This can allow Nigerian producers to carve a niche for themselves in specific goods and services that may serve as inputs for more advanced and competitive manufacturers.
Particularly in Nigeria, industrial strategy should be conflict sensitive. Although facing high levels of insecurity in 2014 when the NIRP was launched, the country’s worsening situation means attempts to grow certain industries, especially in the north, can not be naïve to the realities of operating in insecure regions. Strategies for risk mitigation need to be made clear in any efforts to promote investments.
Lastly, Nigeria must re-shape its oil sector in the face of a heightening climate crisis. Although natural resources will potentially continue to play important roles in many national economies, the Nigerian government must accept the industry’s decline in attractiveness to investors. The oil sector should therefore focus on improving its governance and moving output up the value chain. The recently signed Petroleum Industry Act makes some of these commitments, but also counterintuitively commits even more government revenue to oil exploration.
The type of structural transformation necessary for Nigeria to solve these problems does not emerge spontaneously from the interplay of market forces. It rather requires protracted state interventions that not only provide some level of macroeconomic stability, infrastructure and security but also include broad horizontal as well as selective vertical sector policies. Yet any decisions must recognise that appropriate policy design, and successful state interventions, will depend on both initial institutional and political conditions. At a minimum, the actual motivations behind the practice of industrial policies are better understood within a broader framework of patron–client politics. More importantly, as all industrial policies must involve the distribution of state resources, to be viable in the Nigerian context some alignment with the surviving interests of political and industrial elites is essential. Sector selection for government intervention must therefore take domestic politics into account.
These issues will be addressed more fully in a subsequent article .

HOW TO SET UP A MANUFACTURING COMPANY IN NIGERIA: REQUIREMENTS, COSTS AND TIMELINES

The manufacturing industry in Nigeria is moderately regulated compared to western nations. There is no gainsaying, however, that some sectors are more regulated that the others. At the centre of the industry are the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (“MAN”), the Consumer Protection Council (“CPC”) and the Standard Organisation of Nigeria (“SON”) as industry-wide regulators, in addition to other regulatory agencies whose scope of oversight functions depend on the specific nature of products.
We have reviewed the regulatory frameworks and highlighted below some of the requirements, costs and timelines for incorporation and other post-incorporation registrations and approvals.
1. What are the requirements for incorporating a manufacturing company in Nigeria?
The incorporation of a manufacturing company in Nigeria is done by the Corporate Affairs Commission (“CAC”).
In order to register a manufacturing company with the CAC, the promoters must present the following requirements:
- Two proposed names for the company : these names will be submitted to the CACS for name search, screening and approval. Upon approval, the promoters may thereafter proceed to register the manufacturing company with approved name;
- Proposed Registered Address, Email Address and Phone Number of the Company;
- Details of the Shareholders , Director (s) and Company Secretary to include their Names, Contact/Home Addresses, Email address, Phone number, Date of birth, Occupation, a copy of Government-issued means of identification (e.g. Data page of International Passport), and Electronic signatures respectively.
- Objects of the Company: Please confirm that the proposed company is being registered for the sole purpose of engaging in manufacturing and exports business in Nigeria.
2 . What are the applicable costs of registering a manufacturing company in Nigeria?
The cost of registration of a company in Nigeria is dependent on the amount of share capital of the proposed company. There is no specified share capital for manufacturing companies under the extant Companies and Allied Matters Act, 2020 (“2020 CAMA”).
However, the minimum share capital for registering a private limited liability company in Nigeria is N100,000 (One Hundred Thousand Naira Only, while the minimum share capital for a public company is N2,000,000 (Two Million Naira Only).
Please note that where a company is proposed to be registered with a foreign shareholder, the minimum share capital required by the 2020 CAMA is N10,000,000 (Ten Million Naira).
For instance, in order to incorporate a manufacturing company with share capital of N10,000,000 (Ten Million Naira), the total payable costs will be about N150,000 (One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira). The breakdown of the foregoing sum is as follows:
- N55,000 (Fifty-Five Thousand Naira) is chargeable by the CAC as Incorporation Fee; and
- N75, 000 (Seventy-Five Thousand Naira) is chargeable by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (“FIRS”) as stamp duty on the N10 Million share capital (the formula for calculating this is: 0.75% of 10,000,000);
- N20,000 (Twenty Thousand Naira) is estimated for miscellaneous expenses.
3. What are post-incorporation registrations and approvals does a manufacturing company require to operate in Nigeria?
A manufacturing company in Nigeria will be required to undertake some post-incorporation registrations and approvals with the following regulatory bodies:
Registration with Standard Organisation of Nigeria (“SON”)
A manufacturing company is required to obtain registration approval of the SON before releasing its products, commodities, processes and services to the public.
The mandate of the SON includes designation, establishment, preparation, approval and declaration of Standards relating products, measurements, materials, processes, commodities, structures, processes and services amongst others and their promotion at National, Regional and International levels; certification of products, assistance in the production of quality goods and services; improvement of measurement accuracies and circulation of information relating to standards in commerce and industry in Nigeria.
The procedure for product certification by SON commences with submission of Application Letter which may be approved by the Director General of SON after which there will be official inspection of the product and processes. Thereafter, SON will process the inspection result and then, if application succeeds, SON issues a Certificate of Conformity.
The applicable costs vary in accordance with the class of products in respect of which SON’s certification is required. For more information of the applicable charges of SON, please see SON Charges .
Tax registration with the Federal Inland Revenue Service (“FIRS”)
Registration with the FIRS is mandatory for all registered companies in Nigeria. As a matter of fact, the CAC and the FIRS have synchronized their systems for automatic assignment of Tax Identification Number (“TIN”) to every company at the incorporation stage.
We mentioned above that in order to register a new company, an amount is payable to FIRS as stamp duty using the Remita payment platform and it is at this stage that the necessary information about every company and the promoters is extracted by the FIRS for future use. Hence, the TIN is automatically assigned to the company for easy reference.
Please note that tax registration is free.
The requirements for tax registration with FIRS are as follows:
i. Application Letter on the company’s letterhead paper which contain a valid email, phone number and address of business;
ii. The Certificate and other incorporation documents of the company;
iii. Proof of a current bank account and address of bankers;
iv. Company seal;
v. Date of commencement of business; and
vi. Bank Verification Number of the director or authorized signatory.
Registration with Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (“MAN”)
Every manufacturing company in Nigeria is required to complete a membership registration with MAN, the umbrella body of all manufacturers in Nigeria.
In order to be eligible for registration with MAN, a prospective member of MAN is expected to have a functional or operational manufacturing plant in Nigeria, producing at least one product duly registered with appropriate regulatory body (SON, NAFDAC, etc.) and having a minimum sales turnover of N100 Million.
Also, the following requirements must be provided:
i. Certificate of incorporation and other incorporation documents of the Company;
ii. Copies of duly certified Audited Financial Statements of the Company for the Preceding two (2) years (for old company) or Business Plan (for new companies);
iii. A Cover Letter on the letter head of the applicant company applying to be registered as a member of MAN
iv. Proof of payments of Application Form Fee (N5,000), Registration Fee (N10,000), Annual Subscription, Special Development Levy, Land Use Charge Levy for Members in Lagos only (N20,000), Buy Made-in-Nigeria Products Advert Levy (N10,000), Legal Levy (N10,000) and AGM Levy (N10,000).
After confirmation of the above payments, an inspection visit will be scheduled by MAN delegates. Thereafter, membership of MAN will be confirmed.
4. Can the foreigners repatriate their investment funds and profits out of Nigeria?
There is no restriction policy on the movement of foreign funds out of Nigeria. Foreign investors are guaranteed unconditional and unrestricted repatriation of their capital, investments, and profits in any convertible currency out of Nigeria through any authorized dealer.
However, it is advisable that a Certificate of Capital Importation (“CCI”) can be obtained upon incorporation of the company to enable seamless repatriation of funds, when necessary. The CCI validates the inflow of foreign capital into Nigeria.
A CCI is free of charge (except out-of-pocket expenses, which should not exceed N25,000 (Twenty-Five Thousand Naira) Only.
5. What is the timeline for processing the post-incorporation registrations and licenses for a manufacturing company in Nigeria?
Obtaining licenses for a manufacturing company on an average takes about 4 weeks.

Tinubu: Report of Special Investigator on CBN Ready Soon

Tinubu Reassures Nigerians of His Commitment to Their Safety
Tinubu: the journey ahead will not be navigated by fear or hatred, manufacturing sector and the national development plan.
The federal government has projected to drive the country’s industrial sector with N868.56 billion under the new National Development Plan, but only time would tell how far the plan would revoltionise the country’s manufacturing sector, writes Dike Onwuamaeze
The federal government launched the 2021 to 2025 National Development Plan (NDP) on December 23, 2021.
The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs. Zainab Ahmed, said that the NDP was designed as the country’s Medium-Term Development Plan meant to succeed the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) that was implemented from 2017 to 2020.
The Volume One of the NDP document stated that “national development is the highest priority of the government,” adding that the “government will unlock all constraints to ensure that economic growth is enhanced, inclusive and sustainable over the plan period and beyond to generate employment and reduce poverty.”
It further stated that the NDP was formulated against the backdrop of several subsisting development challenges in the country and the need to tackle them within the framework of medium- and long-term plans. These challenges include low and fragile economic growth, insecurity, weak institutions, insufficient public service delivery, notable infrastructure deficits, climate change and weak social indicators. Hence, the Plan seeks to invest massively in infrastructure, ensure macroeconomic stability, enhance the investment environment, improve on social indicators and living conditions, implement climate change mitigation, adaptation and resilience strategies, amongst others.
Specifically, the Plan is aimed at generating 21 million full-time jobs and lift 35 million people out of poverty by 2025; thus setting the stage for achieving the government’s commitment of lifting 100 million Nigerians out of poverty in 10 years. The country can achieve these targets through high quality economic growth and a more inclusive economy, leveraging its young workforce, and enhancing implementation capacity at national and subnational levels. With effective implementation, Nigeria will progress significantly on the path of unlocking its potentials in all sectors of the economy for a sustainable, holistic and inclusive national development.”
In addition, the role of the government will go beyond the normal provision of the enabling environment to include the qualitative participation in vital sectors of the economy that will open opportunities for the private sector to be a major engine of growth.
Size of the Plan
In order to accomplish its objectives, the NDP provided for the implementation of major infrastructure and other development projects across the six geopolitical zones and the opening up of opportunities for the rural areas to ensure balanced development and increased competitiveness.
Specifically, the attainment of the objectives of the plan would require an investment commitment of about N348.1 trillion. It is estimated that the government capital expenditure during the period will be N49.7 trillion (14.3 percent) while the balance of N298.3 trillion (85.7 percent) is expected from the private sector.
Of the 14.3 percent government contribution, FGN capital expenditure will be N29.6 trillion (8.5 percent) while the sub-national governments’ capital expenditure is estimated to be about N20.1 trillion (5.8 percent). The successful implementation of this plan will therefore be heavily dependent on a strong partnership between the private and public sector.
The country is moving along the path of the reforms required to unlock local content development, subnational economic diversification, competitiveness, growth, and making moderate, incremental progress in poverty reduction and other human development indices in the medium-term.
Manufacturing Sector
The broad objective of the NDP in relation to the manufacturing sector is to improve the manufacturing climate, output and performance through improved infrastructure, stabilising the macro economy, and removing regulatory constraints. It said that as part of its efforts to improve the business environment for manufacturing, the government would simultaneously improve infrastructure, deepen and expand existing enabling business environment reforms, and align fiscal and monetary policy to strengthen the economy.
The NDP stated that four strategies are critical to realising its goals for the Nigeria’s manufacturing sector. They are increased infrastructure provision to alleviate bottlenecks in manufacturing. It said: “Infrastructure has widespread effects on manufacturing productivity and industrialisation. As a result, the government plans to expand Nigeria’s infrastructure stock, beginning with energy and transportation infrastructure. It is expected that industries will have a steady energy supply by the end of the plan period.”
In addition, the industrial locations would also be linked to multimodal transportation infrastructure covering rail, roads, air and sea ports.
The second strategy is the launching of interventions funds to finance manufacturing expansion. This strategy is intended to improve the availability and affordability of long term single-digit financial facilities for Nigerian manufacturers. This would lower manufacturing’s overall cost structure and potentially lower entry barriers, resulting in a surge in manufacturing activity across the country and increased economic output from the sector.
The third segment of the strategies to boost the industrial sector is the strengthening of value chain linkages to primary sectors, especially the linkages between the agro-allied and primary sectors to ensure raw material availability for manufacturing.
“This will be accomplished by implementing value chain development programmes and incentives to encourage local sourcing of raw materials in areas where Nigeria has a comparative advantage. There will be emphasis on fostering synergies among the Ministries of Industry, Trade and Investment and other relevant MDAs such as the Ministries of Agriculture and Rural Development and Ministries of Science and Technology, both at the federal and state levels, to implement initiatives that improve the productivity of value chains to provide critical input for manufacturing.”
The fourth strategy is the review of existing manufacturing policies, laws and regulations to ensure business friendliness and trade. The NDP said that “government will take a comprehensive approach to the policies, laws, and regulations required to create mutually reinforcing framework that promote competitiveness and a business-friendly environment. Policies, rules, and regulations will all work in tandem to achieve export orientation of manufacturing activities. Through the Industrial Policy and Competitiveness Council, the government will provide the private sector with a channel to share feedback on its policies.
The NDP also planned to “facilitate the development of industrial cities, industrial parks, and industrial clusters, while focusing on making hard infrastructure available within these industrial zones” and leverage technology and other digital innovations to aid Nigeria’s industrialisation process and competitiveness.
It also envisaged working with key partners, especially development finance institutions, to develop and expand the credit guarantee schemes available to players in the manufacturing sector, particularly the MSMEs.
It would also strengthen state-owned development finance institutions by injecting additional equity capital towards enabling them to support enterprises more effectively.
Investment and Resource Allocation
To meet the stated goals, the government assured that it would optimise financing for various initiatives aimed at eliminating binding constraints in the manufacturing sector. In addition, the government said that it would prioritise the promotion of investment in the industry.
Therefore, “within the planning period, an estimated public investment of about N868.56 billion is committed to complement private sector investment on this sector to achieve the objectives.
Along with the government’s contribution to relevant ministries’ capital expenditures, other government agencies involved in industrial development in the three-tiers of government will use their resources to prioritise initiatives aimed at fostering manufacturing growth and competitiveness. Government will demonstrate its commitment towards creating an enabling environment for private investment to thrive in the country. Furthermore, the implementation of the AfCFTA should attract significant private sector investment.”
In the years ahead, Nigeria will facilitate the rebirth of the manufacturing sector by improving the enabling environment, crowding in additional capital, and strengthening value chain linkages.
These initiatives are expected to accelerate the pace of the country’s industrialisation, improve economic growth and foster value-added export orientation of manufacturing activities. Synergies and consolidation of efforts from all government ministries, departments and agencies involved in the sector’s development is key to realizing the stated objectives. Successful implementation of initiatives and stated objectives will advance the performance of the manufacturing sector.
The Special Adviser to the President Muhammed Buhari on Finance and the Economy, Dr. Sarah Alade, who was a former acting governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, said that the implementation of the NDP would be linked to the annual budget. She also harped on the need for the government to show the political will to implement the plan. “We do not want the train to leave us behind the fourth industrial revolution,” she said.
A former Professor of Economics, University of Benin, Dr. Mik Obadan, said that the broad objective of the NDP for the manufacturing sector is to improve the manufacturing climate, output and performance through improved infrastructure, stabilising the macro-economy, and removing regulatory constraints.
He said: “Manufacturing is a private sector activity. Opportunities abound in all areas of production, distribution and exchange of goods and services via MSMEs and large scale enterprises. Opportunities in infrastructure development through government’s PPP initiatives.
The implementation of the AfCFTA should attract significant private sector investment.”
But the Senior Partner, KPMG in Nigeria and Chairman, KPMG Africa, Mr. Kunle Elebute, has stated that the federal government should deepen economic reforms in order to attract the private sector investments that would drive the country’s development.

What Are The Promotional Factors Of Manufacturing In Nigeria ?
Manufacturing in Nigeria has certain contingencies and inefficiencies.
1. Electricity shortage For Manufacturing
Most manufacturing companies make use of electricity and some areas in Nigeria don’t have enough of that and this is one of the reasons why many foreign companies are not in Nigeria and also go for some alternatives like generators and solar panels.
2. Infrastructures For Manufacturing
Road, electricity and other infrastructures enhance production and transportation and this have effect on manufacturing and production and more infrastructures are necessary for manufacturing in Nigeria since the ones available are not efficient.
3. Loans and security For Manufacturing
There are many scammers and people who would rather produce something fake and market to Nigerians and some are into fake drugs and illegal arms and all these are not good for the health and security of Nigerians however many people do this to make money and this article is not for such people and some Nigerians manufacture contraband goods and also better loans are necessary to promote manufacturing.
4. Need for indigenous production In Manufacturing
Nigeria still imports more than they export and this is not good for the Nigerian economy hence manufacturing genuine and original products will help Nigerian customers and the Nigerian economy.

5. Low innovation
The mindset of many Nigerians is not how to make things but rather otherwise and youths and the rest of the population in other countries focus much on the art of making things and innovation hence many products we use today started from an innovative idea and ideas are the starting point of innovation and lack of ideas is lack of innovation.
Manufacturing does much good to the economy of Nigeria and many manufacturing companies are needed in this country and this is a sure way of promoting the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of any nation however manufacturing is not only good for the manufacturer but is also good for the country and explanations and guidelines on how to start are in this article.
