Structural Adjustment Programs: The Impact on Nigerians Abstract Word Count: 8‚590 Nigeria’s economy for many decades thrived under agricultural exports until the government shifted its focus to crude oil exports. The repercussion of abandoning this sector was later felt in the early 1980s when the world crude oil prices fell and the production quota of Nigeria to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) dipped. This made the government incur debts which led to balance of payment

IMF STRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENT PROGRAMS IN AFRICA INTRODUCTION Beginning in 1980‚ the International monetary Fund (IMF) started to impose Structural Adjustment Programs (SAP) on African debtor nations. SAP’s have been imposed on 36 African Sub-Saharan countries under the assumption that neo-liberal reforms lead to economic growth and an increased standard of living. For that reason‚ focus was put on macroeconomic policies with the open market based approach. SAP’s generally mandated: -the removal

Mechanical engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of engineering‚ physics and materials science for analysis‚ design‚ manufacturing‚ and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design‚ production‚ and operation of machines and tools.[1] It is one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines. The engineering field requires an understanding of core concepts

Abstract Philosophy has not paid sufficient attention to engineering. Nevertheless‚ engineering should not use this as an excuse to ignore philosophy. The argument here is that philosophy is important to engineering for at least three reasons. First‚ philosophy is necessary so that engineers may understand and defend themselves against philosophical criticisms. In fact‚ there is a tradition of engineering philosophy that is largely overlooked‚ even by engineers. Second‚ philosophy‚ especially ethics
