This book provides a detailed study of how manufacturing and
processing industries have developed in the largest country of West
Africa. Three chapters devoted to import substitution examine the
interaction of growing consumer demand and the market strategy
objectives of foreign merchant firms which produced the sudden
spurt of industrialization in the late 1950s. It is shown that
conventional government promotion policies played an insignificant
role in triggering industrial development. Subsequent chapters
present analyses of Nigeria's processing industries, applied
industrial research, labour supply and productivity, technical
education, industrial relations and indigenous entrepreneurial
performance. The study goes beyond questions of efficiency in
allocating resources, to underlying organizational and
institutional factors. Professor Kilby concludes by isolating key
problems in the industrialization process and by suggesting an
optimum development strategy.
