Bautista, R.M. "Agricultural Growth As A Development Strategy." Economic Impact No. 66 Pp. 24-28 1989, L. I. Odey
Economic and Financial Review
In this paper, the author attempts a further exposition on the on-going debate on the feasibility of adoption of an export-led strategy of economic development which considers" Agriculture- first" as the engine of growth. The au~or strongly supports an agricultural-based development strategy because it is capable of generating mass employment, it is anti-poverty as well as being an hl.come redistribution programme. This strategy, he reasons, should be particularly appealing to countries with a heavy debt service burden since it is a foreign-exchange conserving programme given the lowerimporrrequirements of agricultural growth and itslinka,geeffectscompared with those of industry-led import substitution strategy.

Nigeria's Insurance Industry In 1989, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn
Economic and Financial Review
The growth in the number of insurance companies in Nigeria between 1988 and 1989 revealed the preference of the investors in the industry towards non-life underwriting business. In addition, only one out of the six new entrants into the industry was jointly owned. The unattractiveness of the industry to foreign investors was partly due to the perceived decreasing prosperity in the business as well as the unfavourable investment climate of the Nigerian economy. With many of the insurance companies now scheduled to be privatised, greater efficiency is expected in their operations, particularly among those previously controlled by the government. In …

Economic and Financial Review
In this econometric revisitation of inflation in Nigeria, an extensive review of the literature and evidence has been attempted culminating in a specification of the various alternative hypotheses on the causes of inflation.

On the other hand, increases in government expenditure, especially deficits, tend to increase the money supply and worsen depreciation of the exchange rate, which in turn intensify …
