Four obvious questions that readily come to mind that are seriously begging for answers are: What can we do as a nation to strengthen our economic absorbers from external shocks? Should manufacturing companies that are already battered with multiple taxes, poor access to foreign exchange, and now over 200 per cent increase in the price of diesel be advised to shut down operations? Should we fold our arms and allow the economy to slip into the valley of recession again? Is the nation well equipped to manage the resulting explosive inflation and unemployment rates?\u201d it added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It also implored the government to continue to support manufacturing to accelerate recovery from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/06\/26\/new-somalia-president-tests-positive-for-covid-19\/\">COVID-19<\/a> and previous bouts of recession.<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">MAN said this was to avert the complete shutdown of factories nationwide with a multiplier effect on employment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The MAN also asked the federal government to \u201cas a matter of priority develop a National Response and Sustainability Strategy (NRSS) to address challenges emanating from the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The MAN also called on the government to \u201caddress the challenge of the repeated collapse of the national grid (twice within a week), which is causing acute electricity shortage in the country, especially for manufacturers\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It demanded that the government should \u201cremove VAT on AGO as an instant stimulus for an immediate price reduction and expedite action in reactivating or privatising the petroleum products refineries in the country\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It also demanded that the government should \u201crestrict the export of maize, cassava, wheat, food-related products and other manufacturing inputs available in the country; and grant concessional foreign exchange allocation at the official rate to manufacturers for the importation of productive inputs that are not locally available\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The association represents over 3,000 manufacturers across 10 sectors, 76 sub-sectors, and 16 industrial zones.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) has called on the federal government to remove the value-added tax ( VAT) on diesel as an instant stimulus for an immediate price reduction.
