Accelerating Nigeria’s Economy in the 21st Century Through Mechanized Production: A Thematic Approach

Accelerating Nigeria’s economy in the 21st century through mechanized production is the bedrock of this study. Nigeria’s government has recognized that enhancing her economy in the 21st century through mechanized production is a desideratum to attain solid and sustainable economic growth due to the instability and uncertainty in global crude oil prices. This research adopted secondary sources of data collection such as text books, journals, government documents etc and subsequently analyzed the data through the use of descriptive method of analysis also known as content analysis. The paper found out that farming systems currently practised in some parts of Nigeria do not encourage mechanized production. Majority of roads especially in the South Eastern part of Nigeria are not accessible. The paper recommends among others that Nigerian government should give utmost priority to road reconstruction in other to make them accessible to agricultural machines. The study concludes by asserting that if Nigeria fails to enhance her economy through mechanized, perhaps, she is announcing her economic doom.
