Manufacturers Association of Nigeria has stressed the need for federal and state governments to synergize to improve and stabilize the economy by accommodating critical stakeholders in fashioning out appropriate strategies.

It’s President, Mansur Ahmed, stated this at the 15th Annual General Meeting/Public Lecture of Cross River, Akwa Ibom branch in Uyo, noting that this became necessary because manufacturing remains one of the largest sectors in wealth creation, skills development and technology transfer.

On the importance of good road network, Ahmed noted that there was need for partnership between the federal and state governments for total rehabilitation of roads to boost movement of manufacturing activities and encourage economic development.

He made case for appropriate incentives and infrastructure to be made available to business operations as a way of encouragement to investors to come and invest.
