CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The economic structure of Nigeria since the mid 1970s was based mainly on the oil sector, which provided over 90 percent of total government revenue. Before the emergence and inception of crude oil into the Nigeria economy, emphasis was on the private sector, for instance, the policy package of the first National development plan was to stimulate the development of a vibrant private sector with marginal public participation in the productive activities Epko (2007). But in an effort to speed up development and to compensate for the lack of an active private sector, the government came to play a very active role in economic development.
