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.

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.

Book Synopsis Protection of Foreign Investment in Context by : Khrushchev Ekwueme
Download or read book Protection of Foreign Investment in Context written by Khrushchev Ekwueme and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 360 pages. 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.
Book Synopsis Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment by : Abu Nurudeen
Download or read book Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment written by Abu Nurudeen and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the major determinants of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Nigeria, analyzing the annual data over the period 1970-2008, using the ordinary least squares and error correction techniques. The regression results indicate that openness of the economy to trade (OP), privatization (PR), the level of infrastructural development (FR), and exchange rate depreciation (EXC) have significant positive effect on FDI inflows into Nigeria. In addition, the results reveal that the host country's market size (GDP) has a significant negative effect on FDI, while inflation (IF) has an insignificant (but positive) influence on FDI inflows. Thus, the paper recommends the following: Firstly, government should employ policies to further open up the economy in a manner that the economy will be able to attract more FDI. Secondly, government should increase its investment in the development of the nation's infrastructure (power supply, roads, telecommunication, etc.) in order to reduce the cost of doing business thereby wooing more FDI. Thirdly, government should encourage production activity via production incentives and/or subsidies in order to increase the economy's GDP. Fourthly, the economy should be ready to accommodate further depreciation of the domestic currency (Naira) so as to encourage the inflows of FDI in the form of merger and/or acquisition. Furthermore, privatization should be done in a manner that is transparent, and all necessary and relevant information regarding the process should be made available to both existing and prospective investors. In addition, there is a need for an efficient and effective judicial system and crime fighting mechanism so as to assure foreign investors the safety of their investment.

Book Synopsis Foreign Investment in Nigeria by : Marian Nwanze
Download or read book Foreign Investment in Nigeria written by Marian Nwanze and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign investment protection is relatively new to the Nigerian legal regime, following a shift from military rule to democracy in the late nineties. There is yet to be a comprehensive study which explores National laws and Bilateral investment treaties (BIT's) as they reflect the recent global trends in international Investment protection. The adequacy of the law to protect foreign investment is Paramount to the increase of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in any given country. This book provides an insight into the inconsistency in the Nigerian legal regime that undermines protection of FDI'S and proffers ways to bridge this gap. The analysis provided should be a guide for anyone planning to do business in Nigeria, legal scholars as well as the Nigerian Investment Protection Commission. It should also stimulate Lawmakers to address the issues facing the protection of FDI and close the lacuna in the law; bringing it to par with International standards and foster Investment.
