The pursuit of industrial development in Nigeria was accorded an increased
attention since the 1970s when Nigeria, for the first time, created its development
plan without outside influence (see Second National DevelopmentPlan, 1970-74).
Industrial establishments in the country, in the 19708 and 19808, showed a great
deal of inequality among the regions or states (see Table 1).InNigeria, the number
of industrial manufacturing establishments a state has is often equated to its
development level. Table 1 indicates that among the states in the country at the
time, the Southern states have low ranks when compared to their Northern
counterparts. For example, in 1975, ranks 1 to 4 were all Southern states (Lagos,
Anambra, Bendel, and Oyo, respectively), while ranks 19to 15 were all Northern
states (Bauchi, Gongola, Bomo, Niger, and Benue, respectively). Although all the
regions and states increased their number of establishments in 1985, as reflected
in their percent changes, the ranks did not substantially change and Lagos State still
maintained its dominance. Some states even became worse-offby 1985, especially
in the North, such as Niger, Sokoto, Plateau, and Kaduna, as well as in the East,
such as Cross River, Imo, and Rivers. Judging from the absolute numbers and
ranks, the Southern states are more developed than their Northern counterparts. By 1985,
the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh ranking states were all former entities within the Western region,
