Abstract
Description
The Nigerian economy has had a very rough ride for a long time due partly to government
policy of regulation and partly to red-tape in government administrative processes. To address
the challenges resulting from this, there has been some visible dforts at rapid deregulation
in virtually all major economic sectors in the last five years. This paper examines the political
implication of the deregulation policy in the down-stream sector of the petroleum industry
as strategy for national development. The authors suggest that federal government of Nigeria
should create an enabling environment for the policy to receive full support at its
implementation
