INDUSTRIAL OVERVIEW/ OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

 

Subject is operating in an industry with very great potentials. This sector in Nigeria has a lot to explore when it comes to the need for expansion, improvement of product quality, work force development and general technical expertise. Mainly, private individuals dominate this sector. Despite the huge capital required for setting up this investment, it has grown in its leaps and bounds over the decades in the nation, although, the efforts of the Federal Government cannot be ruled out. The government has put in place different policies that support private individuals to secure loans/ mortgages from banks and other financial institutions. However, to record a groundbreaking in this sector, foreign investors are inevitable.

 

This sector of the economy has great potentials for intending investors.
