Thesis (Ph.D.)--Indiana University, 1991.

This dissertation is on the impact of oil wealth on Nigerian agriculture. In 1960, Nigeria was self sufficient in food production and also a leading exporter of a variety of cash crops from which she earned her foreign exchange. The agricultural sector employed 90% of the population and accounted for 70% of the country's gross domestic product.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation is on the impact of oil wealth on Nigerian agriculture. In 1960, Nigeria was self sufficient in food production and also a leading exporter of a variety of cash crops from which she earned her foreign exchange. The agricultural sector employed 90% of the population and accounted for 70% of the country's gross domestic product.
520 $a After the oil boom of the 1970's the statistics of export crops not only declined but also that of food imports increased tremendously. The literature which explains the effects of oil boom on agriculture splits in two opposing views.
520 $a The dependency theorists, using the oil syndrome model of analysis concluded that Nigerian agriculture stagnated with increases in oil wealth. The second view is the classical economists who suggest that there was a (positive) increase in food production following the oil boom. They argue that increased oil wealth enhanced the purchasing power of urban consumers and that farmers were motivated to produce an excess for the expanded food market. The importation of food is seen as a result of a shift in urban people's taste for foreign foods.
520 $a This research on the farmers of Katsina-Ala Local Government of Benue state reveal that there was no stagnation in agricultural production. The average farm size and farm production has increased continuously. Farmers produced enormous amounts of food for household consumption and for the market.
520 $a The initial response to increased oil wealth was to shift from export crops to concentrate efforts on food production for the market. Following the Babangida paradigm of development initiated in 1986 by General Babangida, the President of Nigeria, farmers were further motivated to produce, not only food crops but also export crops.
520 $a Population growth and market demand have led to privatization of formerly communal lands and reclamation of marshlands. Increased production is achieved through agricultural intensification involving the use of fertilizer, intercropping and crop rotation. Increased cash income to rural farmers is restructuring rural social and economic status such that inequality is lessening between urban elite and rural farmers. This is a credit to the Babangida paradigm, in the forming of a new Nigeria.
