Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Group
The Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Group of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria has reiterated its resolve to reshape the country’s pharmaceutical industry through intensified local production efforts, targeting 70 per cent domestic manufacturing of medicines.
In a press statement made available to The Punch on Wednesday, ahead of the eighth edition of the Nigeria Pharma Manufacturers Expo, the Managing Director of May & Baker Nigeria Plc, Patrick Ajah, said PMG-MAN’s strategic vision aligns with the Federal Government’s drive to reverse Nigeria’s dependence on imported medicines.
Ajah, who also chairs the exhibition planning committee, explained that the expo was designed to promote indigenous pharmaceutical production by prioritising locally manufactured products and supporting companies contributing to Nigeria’s local content agenda.
According to him, only foreign exhibitors whose products or services support local manufacturing, such as machinery and production materials not currently available in Nigeria, would participate in the exhibition.
