What the MAN Expo industry partners are saying:
· “My vision for the industry is to see Nigeria one day conceptualise robust engineering products design and then see through manufacturing and then managing the entire products life cycle.”
- Eng. Ekemini Amos, Director, Projects and Technical Services at Thompson & Grace Investment Ltd – gold sponsor.
· “Nigeria is a growing market. If we can leverage better in manufacturing products in country with local competence, it will reduce our dependency on the oil market for which you can agree with us that Oil & Gas Industry is not in its best of times.

We are looking forward to a time when our locally manufactured goods can compete with the global market.”
