MAN to x-ray Nigeria’s competitiveness under African free trade deal

The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria is set to use its forthcoming 51st Annual General Meeting as a platform to examine what Nigeria needs to do to ensure that the nation’s manufacturing sector is competitive under the African Continental Free Trade Area scheme.
