The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) was established in May 1971 to provide a common voice for manufacturers and a focal point of consultation between industry, government, and the public.
Answers to common MAN membership questions, presented clearly for prospective and existing members.
You must be a bona fide manufacturer with a factory location, purchase the application form, complete it, submit required documents, and pay entry fees and subscription based on turnover. The branch then inspects the facility and National Council admits or rejects the application.
The process depends on when the completed application is submitted relative to National Council meetings. Council meets statutorily four times in a fiscal year.
Membership gives manufacturers identity, a platform to influence policy, access to business advisory and training, information from government agencies, and opportunities for foreign investor linkages.
The cost varies according to company size and turnover level. The Membership Requirements page lists application fees and selected levies for prospective members.
Subscription is paid yearly and falls due on January 1. One subscription runs for one year and elapses on December 31.
A complete registration process can take up to four months, depending on document readiness, inspection scheduling, and Council review.
