THE IMPACT OF EXTERNAL AIDS TO POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF NIGERIA (FROM 1999 - 2005)
ABSTRACT
This research work focuses on the impact of external aids to political and economic development of Nigeria (from 1999 — 2005). The objective of this study is to find out if these external aids have really brought development in Nigeria and if not, to find out why they have not and to discovered whether they are possible means through which these aids can be stipulated to bring the expected development.
It was discovered that aid helps in technical growth and health improvement especially reduction in child mortality and fighting HIV/AIDS in Nigeria. On the other hand, the discovery shows that financial aid result to debt burden, influences Nigeria foreign policy direction and are always given with considerations. Also the recipient does not apply the aids judiciously and the external aids have not contributed to the overall development at Nigeria.
The study therefore, recommends that the donors should provide programmes that will support and sustain the recipient country, then assist in monitoring the application of these aids, there should be frequent flow of information between stable basis for future partnership. The entire aid process for the development should be one where the involved parties share the risk of failure. All aids with too much strings attached should try as much as possible to disburse aids with all sincerity of purpose and faith rather than imperialistic tendencies.
CHAPTER ONE
