Nigeria Eyes Industrial Takeoff via Mining, Autos
The Business NG
|The BusinessNG
In a strategic move to accelerate Nigeria's industrial revolution, the Director-General of the Nigeria-China Strategic Partnership (NCSP), Mr. Joseph Tegbe, met with the Honourable Minister of State for Industry, Trade, and Investment, Senator John Owan Enoh, to align on transformative priorities aimed at repositioning the nation's economy through the mining and automotive sectors.
-
The meeting, which held in Abuja, explored actionable strategies to unlock the full industrial potential of both sectors within the framework of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda with an overarching goal to shift Nigeria from an import-dependent economy to a productionand export-led industrial powerhouse.
While receiving the DG, Senator Enoh reaffirmed the Federal Government's renewed commitment to three priority sectors—Sugar, Cotton-Textile-Garment (CTG), and Automobiles—each backed by active industry councils to drive localized production, stimulate domestic demand, and boost Nigeria's global industrial competitiveness.
At the center of this shift is the Nigeria First Policy, a landmark presidential directive that mandates all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) to prioritize Nigerian-made goods and services in public procurement. This policy is already restructuring supply chains, catalyzing job creation, and reducing overreliance on imports across key sectors.
