INTRODUCTION
The
purpose of this study is to analyze how public infrastructure and capacity
utilization could aid manufacturing growth in a developing economy like
Nigeria. The concern is understandable where productivity growth is major
determinant of the future of standard of living.
Economist have written extensively on the decline of productivity growth and
how it affects output growth and has gone to great length to try identify the
reason for the show down.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Prior to
the early 1970 many Nigerians did not realize the importance of public
infrastructure and capacity utilization as a major key to economic growth and
development towards a better standard of living hence, it was perceived that
public policies to promote economic growth and development international
competitiveness were traditionally focused on savings and private investment in
plant and equipment to the detriment of public infrastructure has not actually
led us to the promise land and this led to a high rate of rural urban drift or
migration.
Over the years, this has led to the increase in government policy to invest
more in public infrastructure as a way of fostering economic growth and
development while not equally ignoring the importance capacity utilization in
the quest for economic growth.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Economists and other close
observers have tried to identify the factors responsible for the falling
productivity. Notably among the factors are poor and inconsistent public
policy, high unemployment and under employment, high and persistent inflation,
political instability and increasing military expenditure and the deteriorating
state of public infrastructure. Certainly all these factors to varying degrees
influence the rate of manufacturing growth. Prior to the 1970s, government has
been making efforts to sustain improvement in the lives of its citizens, which
undoubtedly depends on the growth of the economy. Improvements of the citizenry
depend on sustainable increase in the per capita out put. By this measure
Nigeria has not done fairly well due to the drop in oil price of the early
1980’s
Attention should be given to the serious deterioration of the nation public
infrastructure, which raises the question as to whether public capital
significant affects economic development? Policy makers and researchers
concerned with economic issues have claimed for years that public
infrastructure; investment is one of the primary means to implement a strategy
of economic growth and development, infact one of the ways local government
encourages local industries is through investing in various types of infrastructure.
The quest for industrialization cannot be over emphasized, as can be understood
from the study of development economics, that industrialization promotes growth
and in the long run development for this reason developing economy is conscious
of her industrial growth.
Capacity utilization is an essential thing in any developing economy because it
helps in ensuring that resources are allocated effectively and efficiently in
the establishment of public infrastructure that would be helpful in promoting
the manufacturing growth in the economy.
Thus, the question which thesis or study, seek to address or the statement of
problem is that; due to investment in public infrastructure and capacity
utilization improved output growth in the manufacturing sector?
Has public infrastructure investment using investment in capacity utilization
as it relates to output had positive impact on the citizenry; Does investment
in public infrastructure and capacity utilization.
In the short run enhance output stabilization or achieve the run the desired
macro economic goals in the long run.
These are indeed statement or problem that needs to be addressed in this study.
OBJECTIVES AND RATIONALE OF THE STUDY
This research is aimed at stability the relationship that exists between public
infrastructure, capacity utilization and manufacturing growth in Nigeria.
The objectives are as follows:
1. Examining
government role in the provision of public infrastructure.
2. Identifying
limiting factors to capacity utilization.
3. Appraise
the importance of both public and private sector investment and output growth.
4. To
measure the effectiveness and impact on output.
SIGNIFICANT OF THE STUDY
the
importance of achieving significant results in providing public infrastructure
using the required capacity utilization could often hinge on the fact of what
is done, how it is done, when it is done and whom it is targeted at.
The study is expected to be a concerted effort to identity articulate and
highlight the existence, causes and effects of public infrastructure, capacity
utilization and output growth in Nigeria. It is also the quest for streamlining
its effect and making them more potent.
It is believed that the research would be beneficial to policy makers and
arouse the interest of students to conduct more research in the field of study.
HYPOTHESIS
The study
is based on the hypothesis that:
Ho: public infrastructure and capacity utilization
have succeeded in improving the manufacturing sectors output.
HI: public infrastructure and capacity
utilization have not succeeded in improving the manufacturing sectors output.
METHODOLOGY
These issues to be raised in this are both theoretical and empirical. A sample
regression model will be specified and tested, using a simple regression
analysis model.
On the theoretical side, effort would be directed towards a review of the
development on public infrastructure and capacity utilization and productivity
growth which will provide the necessary foundation for simple empirical model.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The
period of focus of this study will the period 1973 that the post civil war in
Nigeria till the year 200, it is pertinent to note the period also include Pre-sab,
Sap and Post sap era in Nigeria? More so, the study shall focus
primarily on the impact of public infrastructure, capacity utilization for
productivity growth in Nigeria.
ORGANIZATION ON THE STUDY
To
achieve the stated objectives, the chapters are divided into five as follows:
chapter one deal with introduction, chapter two devoted to literature review,
chapter three is the researches examining the theoretical framework and model
specification, while chapter four is presented and interpretation of regression
result; and chapter five deals with summary, recommendation and conclusion.
