President, Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, and other stakeholders in the manufacturing sector are set to brainstorm on finding solutions to the challenges facing the industry.
Dangote, who is also the President of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, will be the guest speaker at a business lunch being organised by the New Partnership for Africa’s Development Business Group Nigeria, holding in Lagos on July 9.
The forum is expected to provide an avenue for players in the sector and other stakeholders in the economy to share experiences and come up with strategies to improve and restore the manufacturing sector, as the largest employer of labour and highest contributor to the country’s Gross Domestic Product.
A statement signed by the NBGN Chairman, Chief Chris Ezeh, said the event would be part of the group’s contribution to the growth and development of the nation’s economy, especially the manufacturing sector.
“The fastest way through which a nation can achieve sustainable economic growth is through effective development of its manufacturing sector,” he said.
