This book was released on 2009 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigeria's political economy has straddled the ideological divide between socialism and capitalism. The country produces oil, and at some point in its existence, it embarked on robust state involvement in the economy. This was marked by the acquisition, or establishment, of numerous state enterprises. Over the years, the performance of these enterprises was found to be dismal, and as part of the overall reform of the economy, Nigeria has joined the global trend toward reduction in direct state ownership of enterprises. Indeed, it has embarked on massive divestment of state interests in once publicly owned firms. Besides the universal rationale of efficiency, one of the objectives of the privatization exercise in Nigeria is the attraction and retention of foreign investments. This work examines the direct and indirect linkage between the government's divestiture of its interests in firms, on the one hand, and foreign investments in the country, on the other hand. The book is divided into seven chapters. Chapter 1 reviews the political and economic history of Nigeria, to set the background and context that necessitated the introduction of the reform package of which privatization is just an aspect. Chapter 2 is a discussion of various natures of state involvement in an economy. This ranges from mere regulation to active participation. The chapter discusses the competing conceptual and ideological theories and tries to situate the Nigerian experience within the broader conceptual dichotomies of capitalism, socialism and the via media of mixed economy. Chapter 3 is an examination of the meaning and rationales for privatization of state owned enterprises generally and the Nigerian attempts in particular. Nigeria's privatization program is an ongoing exercise. Yet two distinct attempts are identifiable: one which started in 1988 and the reinvigoration of the exercise, albeit with new constitutive frameworks, in 1999. Thus, Chapters 4 and 5 review the legal and institutional frameworks for these two exercises. Chapter 6 deals with foreign investments in Nigeria. The discussion encapsulates the pros and cons of foreign investments, especially in Nigeria. Chapter 7 explores the direct and indirect linkages between the privatization program in Nigeria and foreign investments in the country. This is particularly apposite because one of the touted objectives of the privatization exercise is the attraction of foreign investments. A conclusion follows. The work finds that although foreign investments appear to have been indirectly boosted by the privatization exercise, foreign investors initially did not show interest in direct acquisition of the shares and other interests being relinquished by the government, but that that attitude has been changing gradually.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents an unprecedented effort to explore Nigeria's principal investment laws in the context of international law and practice. It employs decisions of international tribunals, especially the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), to facilitate an understanding of how Nigeria's investment laws, investment treaties, and petroleum agreements protect foreign investment. It also foregrounds specific constitutional and administrative law issues intimately related to the protection of foreign investment in Nigeria, and discusses them with the aid of comparative analysis. Furthermore, the book critically analyzes regulating foreign investment by means of a multilateral agreement on investment (MAI) and offers policy suggestions that should inspire negotiations on a MAI from the perspective of a developing country like Nigeria. The central themes of this book are that the liberalization of the legal landscape for foreign investment is not by itself the silver bullet for winning and retaining high volume of FDI, and that a future MAI should consist of "smart" and forward-looking rules, which balance the commercial interests of capital-exporting countries against the development needs of capital-importing countries.

This book was released on 2020-08-20 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, , course: Public Administration, language: English, abstract: The study examined foreign direct investment (FDI): a panacea to national economic development. The objectives set for the study are; to determine the causes of the Nigerian economic downturn, to ascertain the effects of foreign direct investment, to suggest measures that would be taken to accelerate the economic development of Nigeria. Primary and secondary data were used; the population of the study was 1200 from which the sample sizes of 400 were determined using Taro Yamani’s formula. The research instruments used were questionnaire and oral interview. The reliability of the research instruments was tested using Pearson Product moment correlation coefficient; the result gave a reliability index of 0.98 indicating a high degree of consistency. Chi-square and ANOVA approach were the statistical tools used. The findings from the study reveals that, decline in oil prices and revenue, increase government expenditure and decline in market indices are the challenges posed by economic downturn in Nigeria; consumption-based economy, poor savings, high credit culture and huge financial outflow are the causes of the economic crises in Nigeria; reduction in direct foreign investment and overseas development assistance are the effects of economic crisis to Nigeria and finally, diversification of the economy, robust regulatory policies and professional supervision to aid foreign direct investment in Nigeria. Based on the findings, the researcher made the following recommendation: Nigeria should adopt tough policy measures as effective strategies towards a comprehensive strengthening of the economy, government should ensure that policy recommendations are implemented in order to reposition the Nigerian economy against the impact of future economic downturn, government should create enabling environment to attract foreign investors in order to boost economic activities in the country. Finally, government needs to sincerely focus on developing/strengthening the economy and provide alternative sources of revenue on a sustained basis.

Download or read book Economic Development and the Utility of Local Content Legislation in the Oil and Gas Industry written by Felix Okpe and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic development is a major policy objective of the governments of developing countries that are rich in natural resources. Nigeria has promoted, through legislation, the concept of Nigerian content through domestic capacity building and preferential participation as a policy in its Oil and Gas Industry (OGI) to achieve the objective of economic development. The recent enactment of Nigeria's Local Content Act was inspired by considerations for economic development. This article analyzes the implications of this law based on the paradigm of international investment law. For this purpose, the context of international investment law is limited to the definition of "investment" and the international obligations of Nigeria within the framework of current and anticipated Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) and other investment related agreements with foreign investors. From this perspective, the analysis of this article shows that, in spite of the relative success of the Local Content Law, there are significant and fundamental conflicts with Nigeria's obligations under international investment law with respect to foreign investors operating in Nigeria's OGI. Foreign investment treatment standards applicable under international investment law are implicated in the application and administration of Nigeria's Local Content Law. Thus, this article proposes that Nigeria should review existing BITs and other investment agreements to accommodate the prescriptions of the Local Content Law to sustain the underpinnings of economic development inherent in the law. Otherwise, the existing conflicts present substantial grounds for foreign investment claims and liability against Nigeria by foreign investors in the context of investment treaty arbitration.

Book excerpt: This paper examines the influence of market size on foreign direct investment to Nigeria for the period 1970 - 2011. It answers the question: do multinational enterprises consider market size in the allocation of their foreign direct investment (FDI) to Nigeria? Unlike similar previous studies on Nigeria, this paper examines market size in terms of economy size and population size. Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model and Granger Causality Tests were estimated. The results show that economy size and population size has positive and significant effect on foreign direct investment to Nigeria. Market size also Granger causes FDI to Nigeria. This paper, therefore, concludes that multinational enterprises consider Nigerian market size in the allocation of their foreign direct investment (FDI) to the country.

Download or read book A Dark Century for Sub Sahara Africa written by Michael U. Umeadi and published by Author House. This book was released on 2008-02-27 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A DARK CENTURY FOR SUB SAHARA AFRICA Is the analysis of internal factors influencing foreign direct investment (FDI) in Nigeria, thus sub Sahara Africa in the broader context. Its purpose is to determine the internal factors: market size, political instability, corruption, natural resources and business climate influencing foreign direct investment. The direction of the case study is formulated by two research questions: What factors are likely to hinder FDI in Nigeria and what factors are likely to encourage FDI in Nigeria? The text is in six chapters. The first chapter examines the subtle truth, thus foreign direct investment flow to sub Sahara Africa. The second chapter explores some foreign direct investment foundation theories and recent scholarly studies on internal factors influencing FDI. The third chapter analyzes the internal factors influencing foreign direct investment within the context of the Nigerian economy. The fourth chapter examines the case study: Design Description, instrument construction, survey design, sample selection, steps of survey administration, data analysis and the limitations of the study. The fifth chapter reports the case study findings: demographics and case study results. The sixth chapter emphasizes on the remedies, thus presents wide-ranged reforms that include reform of the base social institutions and adoption of base economic development strategies and policies to drive in economic programs in Nigeria. Undoubtedly, the study is a valuable contribution to academic and policy research on Africa, laying out the action plan for the new future of Nigeria, thus, a plan of guide for other countries in the region, as well. It satisfies the reading and research needs of the academic and non-academic groups seeking to know part of the problem of economic development in sub Sahara Africa and the proffered remedies, thus the study and findings are persuasive and applicable.
