The Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) has identified seven factors it said were inhibiting the growth of the engineering sector in the country.
This is as the NSE called on the federal government to focus on simplifying regulatory processes, providing incentives for innovation, and infrastructural upgrades, and ensuring consistency to foster an enabling environment for manufacturing growth.
According to the society, infrastructural limitations, limited access to funds, technology, innovation, skill gaps, policy inconsistencies, regulatory hurdles, and global market dynamics are the seven challenges inhibiting the growth of the sector.
