Nigerian manufacturers are increasingly turning to renewable energy and sustainable practices as a strategy to mitigate the persistent challenges posed by unstable power supply. The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) disclosed that many of its members are adopting solar and other alternative sources of power to sustain operations and safeguard jobs.

Speaking at the opening of the 12th Propak West Africa exhibition at the Landmark Centre in Lagos, MAN’s Assistant Director of Corporate Affairs and Communication explained that the association has consistently engaged with its members on sustainability. He noted that manufacturers are being encouraged not only to explore renewable energy options but also to embrace environmentally responsible packaging solutions to align with global standards.

He said that despite Nigeria’s economic headwinds, manufacturers remain resilient, investing in energy alternatives to ensure factories operate at full capacity. He stressed that sustainability is no longer an option but a necessity for industrial survival and competitiveness, adding that MAN’s role is to provide the guidance and advocacy needed to support members in this transition.

The three-day exhibition, organised by Afrocet Montgomery, has drawn more than 250 brands from over 36 countries, with 6,000 industry experts participating in conferences and exhibitions. Regional Director of Afrocet Montgomery, George Pearson, commended stakeholders, including MAN and government institutions, for their continued collaboration. He noted that Propak West Africa has grown into the largest and most influential platform for packaging, plastics, print, and processing industries in the region, driving innovation and investment for over a decade.

Chief Executive Officer of All Time Packaging Nigeria Limited, Jai Prokash Singh, also delivered a paper on the future of automation in packaging. He acknowledged that automation offers vast opportunities to boost efficiency and output, but warned that entrepreneurs must also address its challenges to ensure that investments translate into sustainable business growth.

Organisers highlighted that Propak has become a hub for knowledge-sharing, business networking, and technology transfer, contributing significantly to Nigeria’s industrial growth and regional competitiveness. With issues such as power supply and rising production costs still confronting manufacturers, platforms like Propak are providing both exposure and practical solutions to keep businesses thriving.

The exhibition, which ends today, is widely regarded as a key driver of industrial transformation in West Africa, showcasing the resilience of Nigerian manufacturers and their readiness to embrace innovation for the future.
