Background of the Study :
Fiscal incentives are critical tools used by governments to stimulate industrial investment by reducing costs and increasing profitability for investors. In Ogun State, from 2000 to 2020, various fiscal incentives—including tax breaks, subsidies, and investment credits—have been implemented to attract industrial investment and promote manufacturing growth (Adeniyi, 2023). These incentives aim to create a favorable business environment that stimulates local production, enhances technological innovation, and generates employment opportunities. Empirical evidence suggests that well-designed fiscal incentives can significantly boost industrial activity and contribute to economic diversification (Chinwe, 2024). However, the effectiveness of these incentives is often challenged by bureaucratic delays, policy inconsistencies, and misallocation of benefits. This study appraises the impact of fiscal incentives on industrial investment in Ogun State by analyzing investment data, policy documents, and qualitative interviews with industry stakeholders. The goal is to determine the extent to which fiscal incentives have spurred industrial growth and to identify areas where policy adjustments may further enhance investment outcomes (Oluwaseun, 2025).
Statement of the Problem
Despite the introduction of fiscal incentives, industrial investment in Ogun State has not reached expected levels. Issues such as bureaucratic inefficiencies, policy ambiguities, and uneven benefit distribution hinder the effectiveness of these measures (Adeniyi, 2023). This study seeks to identify the barriers to successful fiscal incentive implementation and assess their impact on industrial investment, thereby informing strategies to optimize policy frameworks.
Objectives of the Study:
1. To evaluate the impact of fiscal incentives on industrial investment.
2. To identify challenges limiting their effectiveness.
3. To recommend policy reforms for enhanced investment.
Research Questions:
1. How have fiscal incentives influenced industrial investment in Ogun State?
2. What are the main obstacles to their effectiveness?
3. What policy measures can improve industrial investment outcomes?
Research Hypotheses:
1. Fiscal incentives positively impact industrial investment.
2. Bureaucratic inefficiencies reduce the effectiveness of incentives.
3. Policy reforms can significantly boost industrial investment.
Significance of the Study (100 words):
This study is significant as it examines the role of fiscal incentives in promoting industrial investment in Ogun State. The findings will provide actionable insights for policymakers and industry stakeholders to refine incentive structures, stimulate local manufacturing, and drive economic diversification (Adeniyi, 2023).
Scope and Limitations of the Study:
This study focuses on fiscal incentives and their impact on industrial investment in Ogun State from 2000 to 2020, excluding non-industrial sectors and broader national policies.
Definitions of Terms:
1. Fiscal Incentives: Financial benefits provided by the government to encourage investment.
2. Industrial Investment: Capital investment in manufacturing and related sectors.
3. Economic Diversification: The expansion of an economy beyond a single dominant sector.
