Abstract

The paper undertook an examination of the Marxist theory in respect of its application in changing the current economic structure of Nigeria. Using the ex-post-facto research design and content analysis, the paper discovered that the weak production base of the country and the resultant un-organized forces of production would not be able to support any sociopolitical transformation in Nigeria that would engineer collective mass action of an active society, required to stage a change in production relations. The paper recommended that active progressive forces in the country should be mobilized into a formidable force and be guided by the Marxist ideology before a change could occur through democratic means, to the present obnoxious economic structure of Nigeria.
