Data Analyst / Statistician at Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN)

The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) was established in May, 1971 as a company limited by guarantee. The establishment of the Association was motivated by the desire to have a focal point of communication and consultation between industry on the one hand, and the government and general public on the other. Hitherto, there was no institutional organ whose central focus was to give meaning to the interests, challenges and aspirations of the manufacturing sector. Hence, the group provided a forum for the private sector to formulate and articulate policy suggestions that would be complementary to government’s efforts at policy formulation.

MAN is in business to create a climate of opinion in Nigeria in which manufacturers can operate efficiently and profitably for the benefit of all. As the voice of manufacturers, MAN was established to promote and protect manufacturers’ collective interests.
