The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) has said manufacturers are yet to enjoy relief from multiple taxes and levies despite the enactment of the Nigeria Tax Act 2025.
The association disclosed this in its Manufacturers CEO Confidence Index (MCCI) report for the second quarter of 2026, noting that manufacturers continued to grapple with multiple tax collectors and regulatory agencies during the period.
Director-General of MAN, Segun Ajayi-Kadir, said the new tax law, which was expected to reduce the burden of multiple taxation, had yet to deliver the intended benefits.
“Manufacturers complained that they were still met with multiple tax collectors and regulators in Q2 2026. It follows that the implementation of the Nigeria Tax Act 2025 is yet to achieve its objective of relieving manufacturers of the burden of taxes and levies,” he said.
According to the report, Nigeria’s business environment remains largely unsupportive of manufacturing growth, with local sourcing of raw materials emerging as the only indicator that recorded noticeable improvement.
