National & Regional Leaders at the Helm: Driving Nigeria’s Industrial Future

Recognizing the Faces Behind the Made in Nigeria Project Office Abuja

Nigeria is entering a bold new chapter in its pursuit of sustainable industrialization. At the center of this transformation is the Made in Nigeria Project Office, Abuja, now operating under the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF). With the newly unveiled 2025 Leadership Calendar, the national and regional leadership of the initiative has been brought to the spotlight showcasing a committed team determined to turn the vision of “Made in Nigeria” into a national reality.


A Leadership Forum Rooted in Action

The National and Regional Leadership Forum (MAINPRO) for 2025 isn't just about names and faces, it's a structured, strategic leadership network focused on mobilizing Nigeria's resources, talent, and policy machinery toward economic sovereignty. These leaders represent a nationwide commitment to changing the Nigerian narrative from a consumption-driven society to a production-powered economy.


Who’s Who in MAINPRO 2025?

At the top of this vital project sits:

Sen. Dr. George Akume

Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF)
Dr. Akume provides top-level policy direction and federal support to ensure the Made in Nigeria Project becomes a mainstay in national development planning.



Hon. Nwabueze George

Executive Director and National Coordinator, Made in Nigeria Project Office
A visionary leader with a long track record in promoting local content and economic reform. Hon. George's leadership continues to rally stakeholders across federal, state, and private sectors to build a self-reliant Nigerian economy.



Strategic Federal Partners

Including key players like:

  • Engr. Nadungu Gagare – Permanent Secretary, Political and Economic Affairs Office

  • Richard Pheelangwaigh – Water Resources Permanent Secretary & Co-Chair, National Advisory Council

  • Muhammed Danjuma Sanusi – SGF Office, Chairman, National Advisory Council

These individuals are instrumental in creating enabling environments for industrial development across sectors like agriculture, manufacturing, and services.

Zonal and Regional Leaders: The Engines of Grassroots Impact

Beyond Abuja, the real engine of the “Made in Nigeria” vision is being powered by regional leaders who are actively engaging communities, MSMEs, cooperatives, and investors in their zones.



Examples Include:

  • Barr. Promise Ogadimma Mban – National Secretary & Zonal Director, South

  • Dr. Hajara Nijida Amoni (PhD) – Regional Coordinator, North-East

  • Franca Akpu Onyiilo, MSc – National Financial Secretary, Benue North Central

  • Barr. Titiloye N. Akosa – Regional Coordinator, Lagos South West

  • Hon. Moses Haruna – Regional Coordinator, Abuja Central

  • Mr. Shicheti S. Sodangi – State Coordinator, Niger

  • Dr. Uba Chukwudi Nathaniel – Regional Coordinator, South-East


Each coordinator is responsible for building localized implementation frameworks — from promoting local content in public procurement to organizing state-level trade expos and industrial training hubs.

Why This Matters: From Leadership to Industrialization

This structured leadership approach is one of the most decisive moves toward solving Nigeria’s industrialization puzzle. Here’s why it’s a game-changer:

  • Policy Meets Practice: Coordination between federal and regional bodies ensures policies don’t just stay on paper, they translate into action.

  • Grassroots Engagement: Local leaders mean rural manufacturers, artisans, and farmers are part of the national economic conversation.

  • SME Empowerment: Zonal coordinators act as first responders to the needs of small businesses, providing support, training, and market access.

  • Export Strategy: Regional offices can identify exportable local products and connect producers with international buyers.

A 2025 Vision with Tangible Goals

With 2025 as a critical year in Nigeria’s economic calendar, the Made in Nigeria Project Office has prioritized activities such as:

  • Hosting Abuja Economic Forum & Trade Expo Nigeria 2025

  • Launching the “One Local Government, One Factory” (1LG-1F) scheme

  • Coordinating with state governments on infrastructure readiness

  • Creating partnerships with banks and development agencies for SME financing

These initiatives are being coordinated not from ivory towers, but from real communities, with real people, and real impact, thanks to this powerful leadership forum.


Final Thoughts: Industrialization Needs Champions

Nigeria’s path to industrial greatness won’t be built by machines alone, it will be built by leaders, thinkers, mobilizers, and collaborators. That’s exactly what the National and Regional Leadership Forum (MAINPRO) represents.

As the calendar moves forward, we salute every coordinator and secretary contributing their skills, sweat, and strategy to ensure that Made in Nigeria becomes more than a label, it becomes a legacy.
