Diversifying Nigeria\'s petroleum industry

Abstract

Nigeria's extreme reliance on crude oil earnings has triggered structural difficulties for its economy and exacerbated the neglect of other productive sectors of the economy. The paper suggests, therefore, the deepening of the country's economic reform initiatives to include effective diversification of the petroleum sector and development of the agriculture and solid minerals sectors for the global markets.
