Turning the Wheels: A Story of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria chronicles the history of manufacturing and industrial development in Nigeria. It dwells mostly on the evolution of the sector following the establishment of the association that is often simply referred to as MAN. The association is Nigeria’s primary body of manufacturers, and has actively engaged all elements of the nation’s quest for industrial advancement for over 50 years. Its activities and interventions have been critical in making Nigeria the largest economy in Africa.

To become familiar with the story of MAN is to understand the major factors that have worked for, or militated against the development of the nation’s economy, especially since the early 1970s to the present. Written in a simple, lucid language that makes for easy comprehension, this work should serve as primary reference for government leaders, policy makers, business people, researchers, and professionals in various fields of endeavour, who seek to understand many of the critical elements of Nigeria’s economic history since independence.
