…Succeeds Odiri Erewa-Meggison as MANEG chair

Ruth Owojaiye, Director, Corporate and Regulatory Affairs at BAT Nigeria, will lead the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria Export Promotion Group (MANEG), strategic efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s export competitiveness and promote export-led industrial growth.

This follows her appointment by MANEG as the new chair of the sectoral group of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, with the responsibility of promoting export.

MANEG in a statement announcing her appointment stated that Owojaiye who succeeds Odiri Erewa-Meggison, assumes leadership of the group at a pivotal time for Nigeria’s manufacturing sector.

This is so as the government and industry intensify efforts to boost and diversify non-oil exports, deepen industrialisation and maximise opportunities presented by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
