 And now in business it is imperative for Nigeria to focus on sectors with great potential for inclusive development when prioritizing growth drivers. These were the words of foremost industrialist Aliko Dangoti at the second Adiola Odutola lecture organized by the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria. Justin Akadoy tells us more. Nigeria has experienced fluctuations in manufacturing output growth over the years as a result of overdependence on crude oil revenues. Captains of industry, including the organized private sector, have converged on this whole to dialogue, unchanging their narrative. The United Nations says Nigeria has remained in the developing nation Kader as total exports account for 16 percent of GDP in 2021 and non-employment at 22.56 percent. Foremost industrialist Aliko Dangoti emphasizes that no nation has ever attained developed nation status without having a thriving manufacturing sector. The experience in various parts of the world has shown that industrialization drives economic growth and development, which improves living standards as evident by the high output and per capita income in industrialized countries. Countries smaller than Nigeria, such as Singapore and South Korea, have an average per capita GDP of about 65,000 and 31,000 respectively due to the level of industrialization which they have achieved. To drive manufacturing growth in Nigeria, Dangoti points the country in the direction of industry-oriented policy, adequate infrastructure, and the well-developed SME sector. The country's delivering industrial performance has significantly significant socio-economic implications as poverty and unemployment continues to rise. While there is a pressing need to create more jobs, the high cost of doing business in the face of declining consumer purchasing power puts enormous strain on manufacturers, with many scaling down production and some of them shutting down completely. The unsets of Forex crisis in 2015 and a global pandemic in 2020 presented manufacturers with a difficult set of circumstances. The situation has recently been compounded by skyrocketing inflation. Today, the situation has improved significantly. I believe that the economy, although it is still facing low growth situations, but at least it has remained operational and has been able to weather most of the tide. In today's world, there is no doubt that the level of industrialization is one of the basis for determining economic development. The manufacturing sector, therefore, acts as a catalyst that accelerates the pace of transformation and diversification of the economy, enables the country to fully utilize its endowments and to depend less on foreign supply of finished goods or raw material for its economic growth, development and sustainability. Dangoté advises the government to ensure it consorts widely with stakeholders when taking far-reaching decisions, address the speed of insecurity and invest in infrastructure among others.
