Wemy Industries Limited
Nigerian-owned manufacturing companies are one of the major pillars of the Nigerian economy. Manufacturing is the most important cause of economic growth and manufactured goods are necessary for trade. Indeed, manufacturing and industrialisation contribute tremendously to the growth of any economy through the creation of products and jobs, which in turn develops a nation. According to the World Trade Organization, 80% of interregional trade is in goods, and only 20% is in services.
