Nigeria’s industry sector contribution varied widely, peaking at 37.7% in 1992 and experiencing a significant decline to 18.2% by 2016 due to oil price volatility and political instability. Recovery began in 2017, with the sector reaching 30.8% in 2022, driven by efforts to diversify beyond oil, with investments in agriculture and manufacturing.
