Background of the Study
Trade policies play a crucial role in shaping the economic landscape of a nation, particularly in relation to attracting foreign direct investment (FDI). Under the administration of President Bola Tinubu, various trade reforms have been introduced with the aim of enhancing Nigeria’s business environment, promoting exports, and attracting foreign investors. These reforms have targeted sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture, and services, with a focus on reducing trade barriers, improving infrastructure, and increasing Nigeria’s competitiveness in the global market.
Jos North, located in Plateau State, has a diverse economy, with strong sectors in agriculture, mining, and services. The region is considered a potential hub for investment but has faced challenges in attracting FDI due to infrastructural deficits, political instability, and inconsistent trade policies in the past. This study seeks to evaluate the effect of President Bola Tinubu’s trade policies on attracting foreign direct investment in Jos North, Plateau State, examining the impact of these policies on local industries and employment opportunities.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential for increased FDI in Jos North, foreign investment in the region remains low, with local businesses struggling to access international markets and finance. Although President Bola Tinubu has introduced trade policies aimed at improving Nigeria’s business environment, it is unclear how these policies have impacted FDI inflows specifically in Jos North. This study seeks to assess the effect of Tinubu’s trade policies on foreign direct investment in the region, with a focus on evaluating whether these policies have enhanced the investment climate and led to tangible economic growth.
