The NACCIMA president,
however, observed that the figures are in stark contrast to the position of the
Senate ad-hoc Co
find mmittee on Privatisation, which posited that 80 per cent of the
firms are not performing.
In addition, he said
Nigeria can borrow from the lessons of the economic policies of the “Asian
Tigers” — Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan — to boost the
manufacturing sector.
He, however, warned that Nigeria must exercise “caution” in trying to imitate
the Asian poli
business ies. He explained that government needs to consider the
peculiarities of the nation’s economy and marry it with those of Asia in areas
“where poli
house cies are applicable rather than wholesale adoption”.
“This is because the casualty between growth and industrialisation could prove
to be a costly mistake as seen in other countries, in pushing for rapid
industrialisation,” Mr. Ajayi stated.
