Earlier this month the Federal Government launched the Nigeria Industrial Policy 2025, a framework aimed at repositioning the economy from consumption to production, with emphasis on value addition, job creation and global competitiveness. The document integrates climate goals into sectors like manufacturing and agro-processing, targeting net-zero emissions between 2050 and 2070 via the 2021 Climate Change Act.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who unveiled the policy through Vice President Kashim Shettima, said the initiative fulfilled a key promise of the administration to translate Nigeria’s economic potential into productivity and measurable outcomes. He said the policy marked a shift from broad declarations to disciplined execution and from the export of raw materials to the development of value driven industries within the country.
