The Nigeria Industrial Policy (NIP) 2025-2035 was recently unveiled, an ambitious blueprint intended to reshape the productive architecture of Africa’s largest economy. In a global environment defined by geopolitical fragmentation, the reconfiguration of supply chains, and an escalating global race for manufacturing capital, the plan represents Nigeria’s most coherent industrial strategy in decades. Its premise is straightforward but profound: that sustainable national prosperity cannot rest indefinitely on hydrocarbons and consumption-driven growth, but must instead be anchored in large-scale domestic production.
