Extract
In this report, we explore the context of industrialization in Nigeria and uncover critical insights into the nation’s industrial sector’s composition and the shift from a reliance on crude oil and natural gas to more diverse activities. Manufacturing, exhibiting resilience, has remained a stable contributor. The report underscores the urgent need for re-industrialization as Nigeria navigates its path toward green economic transformation. By addressing the complexities and potential of green industrialization, this report aims to shed light on the opportunities and tensions in Africa-Europe relations, offering a comprehensive understanding of Nigeria’s journey towards a sustainable and prosperous future.
