Arise Business Analyst Chika Mbonu while speaking on the Global Business Report said this PMI reading indicates the overall Nigerian economy will likely expand better than expected in the last quarter of this year.
He further said the Nigerian manufacturing sector is facing some challenges which is inadequate supply of power, poor access to credit, and gridlocks on the ports which adds to the cost of doing business for the manufacturers.
If some of these issues are addressed the manufacturing sector will expand even further, he says.
