LINKING THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY WITH DOMESTIC ECONOMY: AN APPRAISAL OF THE LOCAL CONTENTMANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT POLICY IMPLEMENTATION
Abstract
Nigeria’s development is still sluggish, the nascent democracy notwithstanding. It behoves theoreticians and practitioners to chart the way forward. This review study appraises the implementation of the Local Content Policy recently introduced by the Government to effect positive changes in the oil and gas sector. Findings show that the implementation is yet to meet the expectations, eventhough the present government at the centre is determined to deliver.References
