Leading Organised Sector Private in the country, Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) has joined the nation in mourning the passing of former President Buhari.

According to a statement made available to The Mirror, and signed by the National President, MAN, Otunba Francis Meshioye, Former President Muhammadu Buhari served the nation, first as a military leader, and more recently as a civilian President from 2015 to 2023, during which he implemented policies aimed at promoting economic growth, improving infrastructure, and enhancing Nigeria’s industrial development.

“His tenure brought attention to the importance of manufacturing as a driver of economic development and job creation.

“As the nation reflects on the life and career of President Muhammadu Buhari, MAN calls upon all Nigerians to honour his memory. We should also reflect on his achievements and continue to work toward the advancement of manufacturing. The government should reflect on its policies and recommit to the creation of a conducive atmosphere for sustainable economic development and the upliftment of the overall well-being of the citizenry,” he said.
