According to Ibrahim, more companies may still close shop and throw hundreds of workers into labour market based on number of issues like multiply taxation; high cost of energy generation due to hike in cost of diesel and maintenance of those plants and generators being used by manufacturing companies.

Among those big companies that have left the country and throw over 20, 000 workers into labour market are: Mayor Biscuits Company Limited; Louis Carter Industries; Moak Enterprises; Tower Aluminium; GlaxoSmithKline Nigeria; Technoflex Company Limited; Evans Medicals and small and medium scale businesses.
