According to Nigeria’s Daily Sun, Lean is new there, and we can assume that the version that arrived is the result of a long chain of steps in the telephone game. This is how they describe it:

“The Lean programme, […] was first used as a term in quality improvement system when it was applied to the Toyota Production System (TPS) in the 1980s. Presently it is used by at least 25 percent of Fortune 500 companies in America. When it was first used by GE in 1997, over $400million was gained in the company’s operating income.”
