Background of the Study
Industrial growth is a key driver of economic development in many regions, and in Okene Local Government Area (LGA) of Kogi State, industrialization has the potential to transform local economies. However, the growth of industries in Okene is influenced by its geopolitical location within Kogi State and its proximity to major urban centers like Lokoja and Abuja. Geopolitical factors such as regional political alliances, transportation infrastructure, and local governance structures play a crucial role in determining the availability of resources, incentives for investment, and policy support for industrial development (Ibrahim & Usman, 2023). This study seeks to assess how the geopolitical location of Okene LGA affects industrial growth, considering both opportunities and challenges posed by its regional context.
