Abstract

This chapter gives a descriptive historic portrait and evolution of the case study, and its position within the political economy and urban context of Nigeria. It reviews and analyzes background information on poverty, unemployment, inequality, living standards, and planning issues in Nigeria, while also benchmarking it within the broader industrial/manufacturing milieu, and the African ICT industry in a comparative continental analysis. The chapter also reviews the core actors and institutions that are necessary for dynamic socially inclusive growth of this cluster. From the analysis, the impact of the cluster in employment and income generation is clear. For the hypothesis therefore, this chapter is important in establishing the case study as a productive and dynamic cluster, which is functioning in a labor market, which does not have or enforce formal social protection policies.
