INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE
STUDY
Oredo local
government area is one of the eighteen (18) local government areas of Edo state
with headquarter in Benin City. Oredo Local Government Area is an urban centre.
Majority of the
labour force in the local government engage in industries or business. These
industries are facing some developmental problems.
Industrialization is
the key to economic development in any country. For any country to attain any
level of development, industrialization is put into consideration.
According to Iyoha
(1989), in his own view said that “it is becoming increasingly accepted that
industrialization is an effective means of bringing about rapid economic
development in developing countries
The benefits derived
from the various industries cannot be over emphasis, it is the pride of a
nation to develop more industries in order to achieve maximum progress
technologically.
The total dependence
of foreign goods produced by foreign industries are detrimental to the incurred
in the process and the whole economy would be experiencing societal
backwardness.
Over the years Oredo
local government area has been experiencing little or no progress industrially.
It has not always favored. The development and progress of existing industries.
But we may say that the reason might be politically inclined. Moreover,
there is total dependence on subsistence farming by the populace who only
produce for agricultural goods and neglect the industrial sector had been very
much problematic.
Recently, both
individuals, private and state are laboring immensely to develop industrial
based I the local government. Also knowing the benefits the nation derived from
industrialization has decided to increase its annual budget to the industrial
sector in order to increase its progress.
However, Oredo local
government of Edo state is blessed with natural resources which are the bedrock
to industrialization. These natural resources most of which are not exploited.
The raw materials imply the utilization of these raw materials and the
employment of people of the local government Area which in turn will lead to
industrial development with its attendant benefits.
STATEMENTS OF THE
STUDY
Considering the
benefits of establishing industries in communities, one wonder while these are
few industries in Oredo local government area perhaps, the reason can be
attributed to certain factors that make the industries to find difficult to
innovates carryout research work, acquire new plants and machineries as well as
capital for developing because of the following problems.
1)
Shortage of capital
2)
Shortage of certain raw materials
3)
Political decision by government
4)
Power supply
5)
Inadequacy of markets for industrial goods
6)
Problems of skilled and unskilled workers
