Manufacturing investments to rebound as UK project kicks off in Nigeria

Investments in Nigeria’s manufacturing sector are expected to make a rebound post-covid-19 as the United Kingdom fully kicks off its Manufacturing Africa (MA) project in the country.

The MA project is an initiative of the UK government through its Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) which aims to attract £1.2 billion of foreign direct investment and create 90,000 jobs (13,750 direct and over 75,000 indirect jobs) in the manufacturing sector across Africa between 2019 and 2026.
