Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) has hailed the vital role of the press in promoting industry advocacy and driving economic growth, describing journalists as indispensable partners in amplifying the country\u2019s commerce and industrial initiatives.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the 2025 End-of-Year Engagement Forum of the Commerce and Industry Correspondents Association of Nigeria (CICAN) held on December 4, MAN\u2019s Corporate Services Division, Salami Musa, reaffirmed its appreciation for the media\u2019s critical role in shaping public understanding of commerce and industry in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
The association conveyed its gratitude to CICAN for serving as a vital partner in amplifying the organization\u2019s advocacy efforts. <\/p>\n
Speaking on behalf of his divisional head, Dr. Segun Alabi, and by extension, the Director General and the President of MAN, Musa emphasized that the media\u2019s quality representation ensures the visibility and impact of the association\u2019s initiatives.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is no exaggeration to say that without the quality of representation you provide, our efforts would be akin to winking in the dark, lacking the visibility and amplification that your platform so effectively delivers,\u201d <\/p>\n
Musa stated, highlighting the indispensable role of journalists in the country\u2019s commerce and industry ecosystem.<\/p>\n
The forum also provided an opportunity to remind participants of the ongoing MAN of the Year Personality Award, an initiative that celebrates outstanding contributions within the media and industry space. <\/p>\n
Entries for the award remain open until December 15, encouraging continued recognition of excellence.<\/p>\n
Musa concluded by expressing optimism about the future, emphasizing the desire to deepen collaboration with the press in the coming year for even greater impact. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe are sincerely grateful for your continued support and wish to reaffirm how much we value this partnership,\u201d he said, urging CICAN members to maintain their dedication to reporting with accuracy, insight, and integrity.<\/p>\n
The 2025 forum underscored the synergy between industry and media, reinforcing the critical role of journalism in shaping Nigeria\u2019s economic and industrial landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
