The Revival of ‘Made in Nigeria’: From Aba’s Workshops to Kano’s Tanneries

The Revival of ‘Made in Nigeria’: From Aba’s Workshops to Kano’s Tanneries — 1 of 4
1 / 4

For years, “Made in Nigeria” invited doubt. We exported crude oil but imported almost everything else—from toothpicks to transformers. Our people lost faith in local products. Today, that old story is fading. In the backstreets of Aba, the industrial clusters of Ogun, the leather tanneries of Kano, and the agro-hubs of Taraba, Nigerians are building again. Entrepreneurs and artisans are driving a quiet manufacturing renaissance. This revival isn’t powered by slogans. It’s fueled by grassroots innovation—and a government that’s finally stepping back when it should and stepping in where it matters most.

I'm not so sure confidence boiled down to one factor. It feels more like a combo of homegrown pride and better quality control.

It feels like stories of revived local manufacturing often gloss over ongoing challenges with power supply and raw material costs.

This so-called revival might be more anecdotal than widespread, with only a few workshops and tanneries showing real growth.

To build on this momentum, local businesses should prioritize quality control labs and export certification to win both domestic and foreign buyers.
