Abstract: Abstract The post-independence period was perceived by African countries as an opportunity to develop their economies. Impressed by the development experiences of advanced economies, where the patterns of development had demonstrated the increasing importance of industry and manufacturing, in particular as income per capita rises, industrialization came to be perceived as an integral part of the development agenda. The desire to replicate development patterns in the advanced countries was supported by dual economy models portraying the desire to replace traditional sectors of the economy by modern sectors, which were supposed to possess characteristics, institutions and values similar to those found in developed economies.
