Working Paper 29: Political Economy of Agricultural Commercialisation in Nigeria
This paper interrogates the trajectory of agricultural commercialisation in Nigeria since independence in 1960
Abstract
This paper interrogates the trajectory of agricultural commercialisation in Nigeria since independence in 1960 – but with a particular focus on the period from 1999–2018 – vis-à-vis the interface of the pathologies of the post-colonial state, the political narratives by different actors, as well as the political interests and incentives behind agricultural commercialisation in Nigeria. These are, however, situated within the over-arching context of contemporary globalisation.
