This book recognizes the historic roles of African/Nigerian entrepreneurs
in the economic development of Jos, in Nigeria s central region, from the colo¬
nial period to
1985.
It provides a comparative analysis of African/Nigerian
enterprises (private and public) and foreign enterprises. The book also ana¬
lyzes
entrepreneurship
theories as an aspect of the history of economic
thought and surveys African
entrepreneurship
in the context of scholarly re¬
search traditions. It is the first major study of the business history of Jos, which
identifies general and specific business lines and their owners.
This book has six primary objectives:
1.
To demonstrate that the Jos Plateau in general and Jos metropolis in
particular has a long business history with African/Nigerian participa¬
tion, going back to the pre-colonial times and elaborating since colo¬
nial times;
2.
To explain the three broad areas of African/Nigerian
entrepreneurship
in Jos: agriculture, commerce, and industry;
3.
To illustrate the distinctive character of African/Nigerian
entrepre¬
neurship,
including the private and public sectors, small, medium and
large-scale, capitalist and non-capitalist enterprises;
4.
To show how public policy played vital roles in the development of
African/Nigerian
entrepreneurship
in Jos; while colonial policies were
unfavorable, post-colonial policies were the reverse;
5.
To identify the major businesses in Jos and those who own them; and
6.
To contribute to the history of economic thought.
The book uses historical methodology, and it consults a wide range of pri¬
mary and secondary source materials. Fwatshak analyzes different sources
using the multi-disciplinary research tradition.
Written in simple English and presented in a logical and chronological order,
this book targets a wide readership that includes academics, economic policy
makers and the general public who have interest in the theory and practice of
African
entrepreneurship.
S.U.
Fwatshak is a professor in the Department of History and International
Relations at the University of Jos, Nigeria.
