THE Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) has described the recent 18.17 per cent inflation figure released by the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics (NBS), as worrisome and very unhealthy for the well-being of Nigerians and the nation’s economy.
While calling for proper management of the situation before getting out of hand, the Director-General of the association, Segun AjayiKadir, in a statement, argued that the present inflationary condition had begun to take its toll on the profitability of the nation’s manufacturing sector, and its competitiveness.
“Clearly, there is an urgent need for Government to intentionally ensure price stability before the situation becomes deplorable,” he stated.
