2. BACKGROUND
• Prolonged economic recession occasioned by the collapse of
the world oil market from the early 1980 and the attendant
sharp fall in foreign exchange earnings have adversely affected
economic growth and development in Nigeria. These and other
factors have resulted in fallen incomes and devalued standard
of living amongst Nigerians
• Experience has shown that industrial development in any
country provides the brightest hope for sustained growth,
employment generation, improved savings and investments
and indeed, economic development. There is no gainsaying
that industrialization determines the dividing line between
economically developed and the developing nations. Nigeria
now ranks very low on welfare scale. We have gradually slid
from a position in which Nigerians enjoyed higher standard of
living in the 1960s to a position where we now compete at the
lower rung of the ladder of less developed nations.

intervene over the years in certain sectors of the economy to accelerate
the pace of industrialization and subsequently economic development.

using funds, policies or generally through providing enabling
environment.
