Developing the Nigeria Manufacturing sector is a route to opening up a new frontier for the expansion of trade, productivity & competitiveness
• Currently, Industrial capacity is very low with critical industries within the real sector performing below expectations
• The contribution of manufacturing to Nigeria’s GDP is less than 10%
• This is very sad given the fact that retail and wholesale trade are growing at a very fast rate
• And given the fact that Agriculture account for almost 24% of Nigeria’s GDP, there are indications that if a proper framework is put in place, Nigeria’s manufacturing can begin to witness phenomenal growth
• Part of the factors that will help shore up local production and reduce the cost of doing business in Nigeria are:
• The Power Sector reforms - this needs to be fine-tuned
• The strengthening of a policy framework which removes double taxation and encourages investment in the vertical integration of primary sector, Agriculture to secondary sector, production
• Such policies must be backed with the right fiscal policies which give a measure of comfort to infant industry against global competition

• Gangs also associated with oil
theft in Niger delta region and
connections to former militants
• Target is on refined petroleum
products
• Unlike Gulf of Aden, Private
Marine Security companies will
not be the solution
• National Navy Cooperation is still
insufficient (with except Benin –
Nigeria cooperation)
13. Terrorism:
Northern Nigeria’s Boko Haram
• Boko haram and its splinter group
Ansaru have a fluctuating connections
AQIM and al Shabaab.
• Boko Haram’s activities can have
destabilizing effects in Chad,
Cameroon and Niger
• Boko Haram’s activates have
particularly stifled investment in
infrastructure, power and telecoms
and business in Northern Nigeria
• Boko Haram’s activities and support
base will be limited in Southern,
Christian regions
14. Boko Haram expresses a more diverse, less material objective Primarily
based on a clearly articulated religious agenda to Islamize Nigeria

human casualties and impact on
investments

communities in project areas

economic and security challenges facing
Nigeria

2012 left some ethnic groups feeling
marginalized
• Recent parliamentary elections have
Restoring trust in the electoral system is
crucial to defusing inter communal
tensions.
• Long standing military rule has
weakened democratic institutions and
poses a incessant threat
• Plentiful natural resources, including
bauxite (aluminum ore), iron ore and
vast tracts of arable land, can build a
strong economy
• Guinea’s progress on stabilizing its
political situation will impact on
investments in mining, power and
infrastructure
19. To Go or Not?
• Yes but, political risks must be considered
• We still don’t have a real regional market
• So every Country must be approached
differently
• Local contacts and knowledge essential
• Operations regulated by global standards for
– Safety and security
– Ethics
– Social responsibility
– Voluntary principles of security and human rights
20. Government permits and licenses does
not equal social license to operate in
communities
– Robust engagement with communities
– Avoid community gate keepers / fat cats
– Management of expectations
– Transparency
21. Security Policies
• Occupier mentality is recipe
for failure
• Making community
stakeholders in projects
through jobs, contracts,
support to education is best
defense against threats
• Ensure local law enforcement
or military involved in the
security program, practice
Voluntary Principals on
Security & Human Rights
