Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Allgemeines und Theorien, Note: 4.08/5.0, Covenant University (College of Leadership and development Studies), Veranstaltung: International Relations, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: This study is focused on changing the culture of Nigeria's economy from a mono-product oil based economy to a diversified economy. Although the non-oil sector of Nigeria's economy is a vast one, this study focuses on the African catfish aquaculture industry because of its huge lucrative potentials of contribution to the diversification of Nigeria's economy. This research will help the average Nigerian citizen who is being ravaged with poverty due to the on-going economic recession that keeps coming back in every administration. It will also help policy makers promulgate sound policies that support economy diversification and condemn the mono-cultural nature of the economy. Since Nigeria leads the production of African Catfish on the continent of Africa this research should make the government see sense in investing in the production of African Catfish on a large scale which in turn will generate massive employment and contribute to the diversification of the economy leading to economic wealth and sustainable development instead of spending $700 million USD on importing fish every year. Lastly, it will help future researchers in the field of international trade and economy since the motive is to add to the growing body of academic knowledge. This study is divided into 5 chapters.
