This comprehensive book critically examines Nigeria's efforts to achieve rapid industrial development since gaining independence from Britain in 1960. It delves into the various issues, challenges, and difficult decisions faced by Nigerian political leadership, shedding light on the factors that ultimately hindered the country's industrial take-off despite its abundant human and material resources. The book is organized into chapters that explore government industrial development policies and programs, including the steel industry, agro-allied and forest-based industries, and the industrial estate development program. It also discusses tariff and trade policies, incentives and disincentives to foreign direct investment (FDI) in the manufacturing sector, and small and medium enterprise (SME) development.

In conclusion, this book provides a detailed and insightful history of Nigeria's economic and industrial development, making it an invaluable resource for researchers, students, policy makers, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of African economic growth and development.
