This book unravels the trajectories and dilemmas of development in
Nigeria since its independence in 1960. Despite enormous human and
material resources, development progress in Nigeria has not met
expectations. By delving into the various factors that have
influenced development efforts and initiatives, Development in
Nigeria: Promise on Hold? aims to draw out lessons to help the
country to achieve its potential. In many ways Nigeria typifies the
African puzzle of near-misses, a never-ending drive towards
development with enormous promise but no real practical output. As
in many states within Africa, these failures can be traced to
structural inadequacies and the perennial weakness of public
institutions. Problems which collectively undermine sustainable
development and growth include political corruption, ethnicity,
failure of public institutions, distributional injustice, fiscal
centralism in a purported federal state, faulty democratic
traditions, malevolent elite class, religious and social conflicts,
among others. By taking a comprehensive panoramic overview of the
country's historical experience as both a military dictatorship and
democracy, Edlyne Eze Anugwom presents a nuanced, comprehensive and
contemporary interrogation of the ever-dynamic forces and factors
in Nigeria's development project. This book's incisive examination
of Nigeria's development aspirations over time will be of interest
to students of Development and African Studies, as well as to
practitioners and multilateral agencies involved in development
planning and intervention in Nigeria who are looking for strategies
for overcoming the challenges facing the country.
