MAN gets presidential guarantee on bad policies

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday assured members of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) that his administration would reverse or abandon any economic policies inherited from previous administrations, if such action would lead to the creation of more jobs for Nigerians.

Adesina said the President had therefore directed the Ministries of Industries, Trade and Investment, and Finance, as well as the Central Bank and other relevant government agencies to evolve before next year’s budget, new policies to boost domestic manufacturing.
