President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has officially launched the Nigeria Industrial Policy 2025, aiming to strengthen the country’s industrial base and increase value addition across key sectors. The unveiling took place at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre in Abuja, with Vice President Kashim Shettima representing the President. The policy follows a soft launch in Lagos and outlines measures to integrate micro, small, and medium enterprises into industrial growth, while emphasising infrastructure, skills, and innovation.
President Tinubu described the policy as a practical roadmap for industrialisation, highlighting the need for coherent action across energy, trade, finance, and technology. He said success will be measured by new factories, job creation, exports, and the retention of value within Nigeria’s economy. The initiative is designed to raise manufacturing’s contribution to GDP to between 20 and 25 percent by 2030, with a small implementation committee set up to track progress.
