Influence of Industrial Location on Regional Economic Development in Nigeria
Geography — 2025, Undergraduate
This study investigated the influence of industrial location on regional economic development in Nigeria. Data on industrial establishments, employment, and infrastructural provision were analysed together with questionnaires administered to business and community respondents. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. The findings revealed that industrial concentration stimulated local employment, income, and infrastructure in host regions, while areas without industries lagged behind. The study observed agglomeration effects favouring a few regions. It recommends deliberate industrial dispersal and the development of growth poles in underserved regions.
