Appendix

The focus of this study is on how the manufacturing industries in Kaduna metropolis have impacted on the development of the area during the period 1957-2007. And, the main areas it has impacted the city include: migration, urban economy, urban development, spatial patterns, class-formation, effects of Kaduna’s growth on its immediate hinterland.

Thus, we attempt to answer the question: In what ways did the manufacturing industry contribute to the development of the Kaduna metropolis?This is significant because of the shift in economic importance from agriculture to manufacturing that has led to the transformation of Kaduna metropolis especially in spatial terms; values, attitudes and population increase of the residents. For example, within a decade Kaduna almost had a fourfold growth from 39,000 in 1952 to 149,000 in 1963.

The demand for a workforce in the industries and the consequent boom in the commercial and service sectors account for this rapid growth in the area. Equally important, is the emergence and rapid growth of satellite villages around the urban core of Kaduna. Of these villages, Makera and Kakuri, were transformed from rural communities into cosmopolitan sub-urban areas due to the concentration of the textile factories in the area. Therefore, Kaduna during this period grew from a military garrison and administrative town into an industrial city, which was commonly known as the 'Manchester of Nigeria'.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The aim of this chapter is to introduce the study, Urbanization and Industrialization in Nigeria: A Case Study of Kaduna Metropolis, 1957-2007.To achieve this objective thechapter will be organized as follows: Introduction; the aims and objectives of the study; the statement of the Research problem; Scope of the study; Justification of the study; Literature Review; Theoretical Framework; Methodology of the Study; Limitation of the study; and Notes on Source.

Industrialization can be defined as the extensive introduction of the latest scientific and technological achievements in production in the comprehensive technical re-equipment of the natural economy5. Specifically, in Kaduna this process of introducing scientific and technological achievements in production led to the establishment of a factory equipped with 14,000 spindles and 300 automatic looms, costing the Northern Regional Government £1,250,000 in 1957. Thus, the Kaduna Textiles Limited (KTL) was established6. This was the first large scale manufacturing industry in Kaduna. Subsequently, other large scale establishment that employed many people in the mass production of industrial or consumer goods were also established. These factories include Paper products, printing and publishing, brewery, car assembly plant, Asbestos-Cements Products, Fertilizers and Petroleum Refinery Plant..

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

This study concerns itself with the relationship between two phenomenon. It focuses on the relationship between Urbanization and Industrialization. Therefore efforts were made to explain how the manufacturing industry contributed to the growth and development of Kaduna metropolis. Hence, the thrust of the argument would be: Problem Statement: In what ways did the manufacturing industry impact on the development of Kaduna metropolis? Research Questions: A number of questions are addressed in this research including (although not limited to) the following: What influenced the location of industries in Kaduna metropolis? How did industrialization impact on urbanization? What has led to the high rate of urbanization in Kaduna metropolis? How was the city administered over time? What is the nature of inter-group relation in Kaduna metropolis? Which settlements developed as a result of the industrialization process in Kaduna metropolis? What caused the industries to decline?The answers to these questions would help us understand the importance of the manufacturing industry to the growth of our urban area. This is significant because it would unfold the nature of rural migration and urban poverty to Kaduna metropolis today.

1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The primary objective of the study is as follows:

1. To examine the unparallel relationship between the rapid urban growth of the city and its retrogressiveindustrialization process.

2. To examine circumstance that has led to low income, urban poverty, slums, ghettos and social disorder experienced by residents in the city.

3. The objective is to show that a city is not static; rather it is dynamic with effect from diverse sources such as regional, inter-regional, national and international economic forces.

4. Also, it aims at developing a framework that would enhance a mutually sustainable development for our urban centers.

5. It aims at contributing to the existing researches that have been done in Kaduna metropolis of which other works would lay the foundation basis for the research It aims at using the interdisciplinary approach, techniques and methods in understanding the relationship between urbanization and economic development in Nigeria.
