The Federal Government is set to intensify efforts to drive industrial growth, expand trade, mobilise investment and boost non-oil exports in 2026 as part of its economic diversification agenda.
Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, stated this at a management retreat for directors-general, directors and chief executives of agencies under the ministry.
She said the focus is to translate policy into measurable economic outcomes through stronger implementation, collaboration and performance monitoring.
The retreat themed, “From Policy to Performance: Driving Industrial Growth, Trade Expansion and Investment Outcomes,” was convened to review the implementation of the Nigeria Industrial Policy (NIP), described as the country’s first comprehensive industrial framework aimed at rebuilding Nigeria’s manufacturing base.
According to the minister, the retreat seeks to assess progress on the policy and strengthen accountability, noting that previous policy initiatives often faltered at the implementation stage.
