Abstract: Abstract Nigeria has been a disastrous development experience. On just about every conceivable metric, Nigeria’s performance since independence has been dismal. In PPP terms, Nigeria’s per capita GDP was $1113 in 1970 and is estimated to have remained at $1084 in 2000. The latter figure places Nigeria amongst the 15 poorest nations in the world for which such data are available.
