The Permanent Secretary of Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Cooperatives, Lagos, Mrs Adetutu Ososanya, made this known at the Equipment and Manufacturing West Africa 2023 Conference on Wednesday in Lagos.

The event organised in collaboration with Nigerian-Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, had its theme as “Reigniting Manufacturing to Drive Economic Growth and Development”.

Ososanya said that Lagos would continue to improve on its economic policy coordination and implementation, encourage partnership and collaboration between the public and private Sectors, and prioritize labour to promote investments in the state.

She said the state, through the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Cooperatives and sister MDAs, was also facilitating the support of multi-lateral partners and agencies for the Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) for increased economic production and export.

This, she said, would further boost their production capacity, create employment, generate more income, lead to appreciable reduction in poverty and increase the state’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

“As the industrial, commercial and economic capital of Nigeria, Lagos State, under the energetic leadership of Mr Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is committed to ensuring the sustainability and further growth of the state’s industrial sector.

“The administration is not giving up on its quest to build a globally competitive economy, in fact, it is putting its skin into it.

“Of recent, the state is paying more attention to its industrial estates, hubs and enterprise zones to support and strengthen the operations of MSMEs, which are the backbone and bedrock of sustainable development in most global economies.

“In addition to the ongoing reorganisation of the state’s existing Small Scale Industrial Estates that are situated in various commercial axis of the state; it is also working at the completion of the ongoing one situated at Imota area and this is near completion stage,” she said.

Ososanya, addressing the theme of the event, said the topic was very relevant to the country’s quest for economic recovery and national growth.

She noted that for a long time, Nigeria’s domestic productive capabilities were neglected in favour of imports, knowing fully well that a vibrant manufacturing activities and volume of export was relevant to the development of the economy.

“The time for the Nigerian Government and Nigerians to support and further develop the manufacturing potentials of our Nation bearing in mind that we are blessed with a very vibrant, and dynamic population and resources is now.

“Therefore, many of our challenges today, whether relating to poverty, unemployment or underemployment, to mention but a few, are rooted in the fact that we have not been able to domesticate the production of our most basic needs.

“There is no doubt that the only way to drive sustainable economic growth and development is to reignite the manufacturing sector.

“Manufacturing opens up employment opportunities, supports agriculture, diversifies the economy and increases the country’s foreign exchange earning to mention few.

“Hence, the need to instigate forward movement in the sector through cutting-edge technology, effective and efficient production processes and management and a vibrant skilled and unskilled workforce amongst others,” she said.

Ososanya also commended the incredibly valuable role of the Organized Private Sector in ensuring that the manufacturing sector continues to thrive in spite of the harsh operating environment.

She assured that the Lagos State Government would continue to evolve sound policies to provide the much needed roadmap and support for the journey to economic recovery and prosperity.
