Natural Resources, a Curse towards National Development: A Case of Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo
No full textNatural Resources are gifts that support economic, social and political
development that pave way for nation-building and future sustainability of
any given society. Several countries and regions were bestowed with variety
resources such as crude oil, natural gas, gold, iron ore, etc. These resources
do not automatically make the beneficiary rich or live a better life, unless the
policy makers sincerely formulate and adopt right policies towards
implementation of such policies. Without technology adaptation, oil, gold,
copper and other natural resources of these kinds can not be extracted to
yield effective and profitable production, while decision makers, adequate
laws and enforcement are tools to achieve positive goals and objectives.
Resources curse theory is one of the theories within the political economy
that oversees the potentiality of natural resource as a consequence of various
disadvantages in a giving society rather than rich and enjoys economic
growth and political stability, as a result, merely ends up state ends up in
destruction. The paper examined the relationship between resources and state
development, its contribution largely to focus on Nigeria and Democratic
Republic of Congo as illustration of African resourceful states with less
development. As a result, the study adopts the Resources curse theory in
analysing these resources and its consequences while policy makers’
decisions are duly examined in reaching a conclusive result
