Manufacturers lament low export share despite N85.13trn trade boom
Manufacturers say Nigeria’s export growth has not translated into industrial gains, as manufactured goods accounted for less than 3% of the N85.13trn total exports in 2025.
The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria Export Promotion Group (MANEG) said poor execution, weak standards and logistics gaps are limiting competitiveness.
It warned that over 70% of food exports are rejected abroad, despite AfCFTA’s $3.4trn opportunity.
