Brief Introduction

Nigeria emerged from the colonial experience with an economy structured in accordance with the imperators of colonial economic relationships. The first National Development plan (1963) was launched with the objectives of providing the framework for industrial take-off and development.

However, as the foreign investors were apprehensive of the nascent independent administration, efforts were made not only to alloy their fears of nationalism but also to attract more foreign investments through joint ventures with the regional government then or the federal government.

The first development plan as an open door regime saw an increase in the establishment of miscellaneous foreign enterprises in Nigeria, many of which are unincorporated branches of their overseas business.

However, just only about few years offer independence when the rest of the world including the erstwhile colonial master had hardly adapted to the realities of Nigeria’s attainment of nationhood or for the Nigerian government to articulate and plan its own economic policy, the country experienced its first military coup d’ et al in 1966.
