CREATING ENABLING ENVIRONMENT FOR SUSTAINABLE INDUSTRIAL GROWTH
The fact is undeniable that national transformation and industrial growth are inextricably intertwined. Investigations and explorations by scholars have shown very clearly that higher productivity is a sure means of boosting sustainable economic growth and raising standards of living in any country. Formulating and implementing effective productivity schemes have undoubtedly assisted many economies to pull out of global recession and set them on the course of sustainable growth.
According to the statistics recently published by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the industrial sector of the economy which is made up of Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas, Solid Minerals and Manufacturing, contributed an average of 40% to the national Gross Domestic Product between 2007 and 2011. Sadly, manufacturing sector which should ordinarily form the bedrock of industrialization contributed less than 5% to the pool while crude oil and gas contributed 95%. In the same vein, 2011 GDP statistics of countries published by International Monetary Fund show that while the industrial sector of emerging economies like China and India contributed about $3.4 Trillion and $482 Billion respectively to their total GDP, Nigerian industrial sector contributed a mere $122 Billion out of which 95% was from oil sector of the economy.
