FG Unveils Industrial Revolution Work Group Boosting Manufacturing Sector
The federal government is implementing measures to revolutionize the country’s manufacturing sector. President Ahmed Bola Tinubu has inaugurated the Industrial Revolution Work Group and undertaken an industrial tour of the southwest of Nigeria, collaborating with key stakeholders from the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) and other private sectors, including holding town hall meetings.
Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment Jumoke Oduwole disclosed this at the 2025 ministerial press briefing in Abuja.
She noted that President Tinubu will not relent until there is a positive lift in the country’s industrial landscape.
“The key outcome of this engagement was the announcement of the establishment of the Industrial Revolution Work Group and elite task force with a focus on the Nigerian industrial revolution plan for a larger innovation-driven economy,” Oduwole said.
She added that the Manufacturing Association of Nigeria (MAN) was inaugurated as President and Co-Chair in the Industrial Revolution Work Group (IRWG).
The work group is set up to resolve critical bottlenecks and develop long-term strategies for industrial growth.
The ministry team, directors, and about 2,000 people are working on this industrial initiative. The ministry is also in partnership with UNIDO for industrial acceleration and strategic partnership.
The National Automotive Council is strengthening local automotive capabilities and creating access to finances, technology, innovation, and research and development.
The national industrial tour, which commenced in the southwest, aims to conduct an on-the-ground assessment of Nigeria’s industrial landscape, gather insights into Nigerian industrial policy, and provide clarity to industry stakeholders on government-led industrial strategies.
