FG to Boost Manufacturing Sector as It Moves to Reduce Gas Price For Power Generation –

The Federal Government has said that it has begun moves to reduce the cost of gas for power generation across the country as part of efforts to boost the manufacturing sector. This is as industry players have identified cost competitiveness as a major challenge in the manufacturing sector a huge part of which can be attributed to power.

This disclosure was made by the Minister for Industry, Trade, and Investments, Otunba Niyi Adebayo, at a roundtable discussion on the industrialization of Africa organized by the Manufacturers’ Association of Nigeria (MAN).

The epileptic power supply in the country has been attributed mostly to gas constraints which affect power generation.

The adequate power supply is regarded as one of the essential requirements for output growth in the manufacturing sector and being able to get power supply at a cheaper cost will play a huge part in the growth of the various industries and businesses.
