Neopatrimonial analysts attribute the failure of development
policies in Nigeria to entirely internal problems emanating from
the personalization of state resources by rulers for their own
benefits and as forms of patronage for securing the loyalty of
clients. Based on elaborate theoretical and empirical analysis of
development policies in Nigeria with special focus on development
planning, this book argues that the neopatrimonial analysis is
one-sided and does not adequately capture the fundamental factors
responsible for the development malaise in the country.
Understanding Nigeria's development problems entails looking beyond
neopatrimonialism. The adverse effects of diffusionism that
underlined development policies, and the associated external
factors that fostered neocolonial dependence and peripheralization
of Nigeria's economy are crucial for understanding and coming to
terms with the development problem. This book makes a strong case
for endogenous formulation of development policies and for the
reformulation of the Nigerian state in order to make it more
developmental.
