Nigeria lost about 1.9 million jobs in the manufacturing industry between 2002 and 2009 due to the harsh operating environment in the country, the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria has said.

The Director-General of the association, Mr. Jide Mike, said on Wednesday that the industry lost more than 1.8 million jobs between 2002 and 2008.

He spoke while delivering a paper on, “Challenges and Opportunities of Manufacturing Investments in Nigeria,” at the 10th Biennial Techno-Exposition, organised by the Raw Materials Research and Development Council, in Abuja.

The PUNCH had earlier reported that a total of 834 manufacturing companies shut shop in 2009, quoting a survey carried out by MAN as part of its membership operational audit in January 2010.
