ABSTRACT

 

This study examined the effects of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on the Manufacturing Sector of Nigeria.  The objective of this work is to determine the effects of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on the Manufacturing Sector of Nigeria.  Specifically, this study evaluated the long run and short run effects of foreign direct investments on the manufacturing sector contribution to GDP of Nigeria and its effects on manufacturing capacity.  The study adopted ex post facto research design. A time series data from 1982 to 2016 was used for the econometric analysis. The econometric analyses used for this study are Johansen Co-integration Test, Vector Error correction model, and Wald test. The Econometrics Views (E-view) version 8.0 statistical Package was used for the analysis. The result revealed that there was a significant long term effect of foreign direct investment of manufacturing to gross domestic product in Nigeria.   Secondly, there was a significant short run effect of foreign direct investment of manufacturing to gross domestic product in Nigeria.  Thirdly, there was a significant long term effect of foreign direct investment on manufacturing capacity in Nigeria.  Finally, there was a significant short run effect of foreign direct investment on manufacturing capacity in Nigeria.  Conclusively, the study indicated that there is a long and short run effects from foreign direct investment and its determinants to the performance of manufacturing sector of Nigeria. The study recommended among other things that peaceful and healthy business environment be created to retain and attract more foreign direct investment to increase the long run increase in manufacturing output sector.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION


1.1       BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

Foreign direct investment are the net inflows of investment to acquire a lasting management interest (10 percent or more of voting stock) in an enterprise operating in an economy other than that of the investor.   It is an investment made by a country, in the form of either establishing business operations or acquiring business assets in the other country, such as ownership or controlling interest in a foreign company.   In most developed and developing countries today, one of the major channels of achieving a rapid economic development, is to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in different sectors of the economy, most especially in the manufacturing sector because of its well-known economic advantages.  FDI provides much needed resources to developing countries such as capital, technology, managerial skills, entrepreneurial ability, brands, and access to markets, as they are essential for developing countries to industrialize, develop, and create jobs attacking the poverty situation in their countries (Chenery & Strout, 1966).

In the same vein, the World Trade Organization (1996) observed that FDI occurs when an investor based in one country which is the home country, acquires an asset in another country with the interest to manage that asset. Commenting further, Chenery and Strout (1996) posited that FDI inflow is expected to transfer technology, as well as increase managerial and marketing skills to domestic industries in order to enhance their productivity and economic growth to the wider economy of the host nation.

According to Adegbite and Ayadi (2010), FDI helps to fill the domestic revenue-generation gap in a developing economy, given that most developing countries’ governments do not seem to be able to generate sufficient revenue to meet their expenditure needs.  Other benefits are in the form of externalities and the adoption of foreign technology.  Externalities here can be in the form of licensing, employee training and the introduction of new processes by the foreign firms (Alfaro, Chanda, Kalemli-Ozean and Sayek 2006).

Also, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is seen as a way of filling the gap between domestic available supplies of saving, government revenue, human capital skills and the desired level of resources needed to achieve growth and development targets.  FDI is believed to have filled the gaps in management, entrepreneurship and technology through spillovers and other externalities.   FDI occurs when a firm invests directly in facilities to produce or market a product in a foreign country (Hill, 2005), and is usually embarked upon by Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) or Multinational Corporations (MNCs).   MNEs or MNCs are firms that have business facilities or interest spread over several countries, but controlled by a central headquarter (Stonner, Freeman, & Gilbert, 2007).  MNEs or MNCs are believed to improve the foreign exchange position of a host country; its long-run impact may reduce foreign exchange earnings in both the current and capital accounts of the balance of payment (BOP).

Every country at one point or another seeks ways to improve its economy either through internal business strategies and re-strategizing or external adventures.  So when a country seeks outside its border for business enhancement, economic emancipation and general improvement in its finances and economy, it is referred to as foreign investment.  FDI has been further described as the long term investment reflecting a lasting interest and control, by a foreign direct investor or parent enterprise, of an enterprise entity resident in an economy other than that of the foreign investor (IMF, 1999).  Many African countries including Nigeria have reformed their economic policy, investment laws and financial system, in order to provide a conducive environment for private investment (African Economic Outlook, 2006).   Sub Saharan Africa as a region has to depend heavily on FDI for many reasons, some of which are exchange of scientific research and technological collaboration (Asiedu, 2001).  Foreign direct investment (FDI) has increased dramatically in the past twenty years and with an alarming increase to become the most attractive and generally accepted type of flow of capital across borders in both developed, developing and under developed economies.

Maji & Achegbulu (2011) stated that the possibilities of achieving rapid and sustained development through effective use of FDI have been applied and demonstrated by countries like Singapore, Hong Kong and Thailand. With this, these countries today are known among other countries as the developed and industrialized countries in the world.

In addition, McAleese (2004) states that FDI embodies a package of potential growth enhancing attributes such as technology and access to international market”  but the host economy by supplying capital, technology and management resources that would otherwise not be available.  Such resource transfer can stimulate the economic growth of the host economy (Hill, 2000).

FDI is far more than mere capital, it is a uniquely potent bundle of capital, contracts, managerial and technological knowledge with potential spillover benefits for host country firms.  Unlike other forms of capital flows, FDI has proven to be resilient during crisis, (Lipsey, 2001).  This is evident in the Latin America debt crisis of the 1980s, during the Mexican crisis of 1994-95, and during the Asian financial crisis of 1997-98. These traits have engendered an intense competition for foreign direct investment by developing and transition economies. 

Most countries strive to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the manufacturing sector because of its acknowledged advantages as a tool of economic

development.  Africa and Nigeria in particular joined the rest of the world to seek FDI as evidenced by the formation of New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), which has the attraction of foreign investment to Africa as a major component. Improvements in economic policies are needed to enhance macroeconomic performance and attain the minimum growth rate required to meet the Millennium Development Goals set by the United Nations.  An increase in investment is crucial to the attainment of sustained growth and development in the country.   This requires the mobilization of both domestic and international finances. Given the unpredictability of aid flows, the low share of the country in world trade, the high volatility of short- term capital flows, and the low savings rate of the country, the desired increase in investment has to be achieved through an increase in FDI flows, at least in the short – run (De Gregorio, 2003).

Until recently, FDI was not fully embraced by Nigeria and other African leaders as an essential feature of growth in the manufacturing sector, reflecting largely fears that it could lead to the loss of political sovereignty, push domestic firms into bankruptcy due to increased competition and, if entry is predominant in the natural resource sector accelerate the risk of environment degradation.  Akinlo (2006) argue that much of African skepticism toward foreign investment is rooted in history, ideology, and the politics of the post – independence period.   They also argue that the prevailing attitudes and concerns in the region are due in part to the fact that policy – makers in the region are not convinced that the potential benefit of FDI could be fully realized.

Although most of the concerns of Nigeria regarding foreign investment are legitimate, for example, there is some evidence that the activities of foreign oil firms in Nigeria have had perverse effects on local environment (Ekpo, 2003).  It has been shown that if a host country creates conducive environment to investment, FDI can play an important role in its development efforts.  Its potential benefits include; employment generation and growth by providing additional capital to a host country supplementing domestic savings, integration into the global economy and transfer of modern technology (Opaluwa, Ameh and Umeh, 2010).

The inadequacy of infrastructure has been one of the major constraints for attracting foreign direct investment to the manufacturing sector.   On the other hand,  the major weaknesses of the manufacturing sector is its inability to create forward and backward linkages with the rest of the economy.  As a result, there was weak raw material base resulting in excessive dependence on imported inputs; poor technological base to support growth of manufacturing activities; obsolete machinery and equipment as most plant equipment procured in the import substitution era are ageing and wearing out.

Nigeria as the largest economy in Africa has attracted significant amount of FDI inflow in recent years.  The foreign direct investment inflow in Nigeria increased from $193.2 million in 1986 to $1874.04 billion in 2002.   For the periods of 2003 to 2013, it further rose from $2005.4 billion to $5609 billion.  The inflow of FDI as the percentage of GDP increased from 0.93 percent in 1986 to 5.05 percent in 2009 but later declined to 1.64 percent in 2010 and 1.07 percent in 2013 (UNCTAD, 2015).

However, according to UNCTAD (2015), Nigeria saw its FDI inflow decline from 2010 to 2015 by 27% to $3.4 billion as the nation was hard hit by the global drop in oil price, against this backdrop she accounted for about 6% of FDI inflow to Africa and received approximately 31% of the sub-regional total, with the oil and gas sector alone receiving about 70% of the FDI inflow. This was as a result on the fact that FDI over the years domiciled mainly in the now gloomy oil sector in Nigeria, hence contributing to the underdevelopment of the manufacturing sector.

The sudden drop of FDI inflows in 2010 took place due to recent events that occurred during the past administration. Among the events majorly was the present of socio-political upheaval from some anti-social group known as the “Boko Haram Sect” in the country especially in the Northeast which is highly detrimental to the growth and health of the nation’s economy.

Okoli & Agu (2015) opined that the presence of the terrorists – Boko Haram was a kind of a snail movement of the development process and eventually a complete overhauling of the entire system, lack of industrialization, capital flight and absence of technology transfers. This makes the country economically unfriendly and non-conducive for investors to thrive. Because, no investor will like to invest in a place where he will suffer capital loss no matter how promising it will appear.

For a developing country like Nigeria, the inflow of foreign capital may be significant in not only raising the productivity of a given amount of labour, but also allowing a large labour force to be employed (Sjoholm,1999).   Domestic consumers may also benefit from Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in that when the investment is cost reducing in a particular industry, consumers of the product may gain through lower product prices, hence another industry that uses this product benefit from the lower prices. This creates profits and stimulates expansion in the second industry.  Additionally, if the investment is product improving or product motivating, consumers benefit in the form of better quality products or new products.  For most countries, taxes on foreign profits or royalties from concession agreements constitute a large proportion of total government revenue.

The acknowledged benefits of the FDI seems to be more than the demerits, and this seems to explain the current move of developing countries, seeking to attract FDIs by removing the structural barriers and encouraging foreign investors. Such encouragement includes offers of incentives such as income tax holidays, import duties exemptions, and subsidies to foreign firms.  The trend of the foreign direct investment in recent times whether public or private is positively related to democratization and sound economic climate existing in the recipient developing countries (Egwuatu, 2007).  This indicates that the more developing countries are favourable disposed to democracy and sound economic policies, the more foreign direct investment they can attract.

In another development, the low capacity utilization of the manufacturing sector, estimated at below 30 per cent, is a major factor responsible for the sector’s low contribution to the economy. The available production capabilities in the Nigerian economy, the amount of investment goods and other resources required to exploit the opportunities opened up by the SAP are so enormous that a large component of external financing is needed.  However, the policy indicates Nigeria’s high preference for FDI as against any other type of foreign capital inflow for financing development programmes.

In the modern world, manufacturing sector is regarded as a basis for determining a nation's economic efficiency (Amakom, 2012).  However, after the discovery of crude oil in Nigeria in the late 1950s, the nation has shifted from its pre-eminent developing industrial production base and placed heavy weight on crude oil production (Englama, et al. 2010); not only has this jeopardized its economic activities, it also aggravated the nation's level of unemployment. Nigeria as a giant of Africa has for long been regarded as a nation blessed with abundant human and material resources; however, the underutilization of these potentials has amplified widespread poverty, low standard of living at individual level and rising unemployment in the country as a result of incessant mono-economic practice and drastic neglect of other sectors of the economy such as agriculture, tourism, mining and the manufacturing industry.

In spite of the country's vast oil wealth, the World Bank Development Indicators (2014) has shown that majority of Nigerians are poor with 84.5 per cent of the population living on less than two dollar a day based on a survey conducted in 2010 up from 63.1% reported in 2004 survey. The United Nations Human Development Index (2014) also ranks Nigeria 152 out of 187 countries, which is a significant decrease in its human development ranking of 151 in 2004; and World Bank Development Indicators (2012) placed Nigeria within the 47 poorest countries of the world. The issue of poverty can be easily traced to mono-economic practice and underutilization of the nation’s endowed resources, especially in manufacturing sector (Akinmulegun and Oluwole, 2013), which could have opened up windows of opportunity in job creation and economic development.

Anyanwu, (2001) commented “prolonged economic recession occasioned by the collapse of the world oil market from the early 1980 and the attendant sharp fall in foreign exchange earnings have adversely affected economic growth and development in Nigeria.  Other problems of the economy include excessive dependence on imports for consumption and capital goods, dysfunctional social and economic infrastructure, unprecedented fall in capital utilization rate in industry and neglect of the agricultural sector among others”.   Most importantly, to put the country back on the path of recovery and growth will require urgently rebuilding deteriorated infrastructure and making more goods and services available to the citizenry at affordable prices.   Anyanwu, 2001 proposes that given the importance of high productivity in boosting economic growth and the standards of the people, productivity measurement cannot but be of importance to both policy makers and researchers.   Productivity measurement can be used to evaluate the efficient of an economy in relations to others.  Anyanwu further proposes high productivity in the Nigerian manufacturing industry as a necessary condition for the sectors’ recovery, achieving competitiveness, boosting the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and uplifting the standards of living of the people.   Achieving high productivity will require a frontal attack on the problems confronting the sector which are low technological development, High cost of productivity, lack of access to finance.  This would imply a quantum leap in output of goods and services.  Ogbu (2012) states that no other sector is more important than manufacturing in developing an economy, providing quality employment and wages, and reducing poverty. Increasing productivity should be the focus because many other countries that have found themselves in the same predicaments have resolved them through productivity enhancement schemes. For instance, Japan from the end of the World War II and the United States of America from the 1970s’ have made high productivity the centre point of their economic planning and the results have been resounding. 

Given the importance of high productivity in boosting economic growth and the standards of living of the people, it is necessary to evaluate the effects of FDI on the manufacturing sector of the Nigeria. In the light of the foregoing, there cannot be another appropriate time to evaluate the effects of FDI on the manufacturing sector of the Nigerian Economy than now.

The economy of Nigeria had a lot of structural distortions in the 1980’s.  The economic policies pursued prior to 1985 made the economy of Nigeria vulnerable to external shocks. Consequently the 1986 budget sought to deemphasize controls and adopted policy aimed at expanding the economy resources base. To attain this goal in 1986 budget at a time in the structural adjustment program which was launched in July 1986 with the introduction of structural adjustment program came to deregulation of the Nigerian economy.  The deregulation policy which the structural adjustment called for is the process by which government removes unnecessary control which tends to prevent the effective and efficient program of economic and business activities.  It can also be said to be reduction or elimination of laws and regulations that hinder free competition in supply of goods and services, thus allowing market forces to drive the economy.

Aluko, M.O, Akinola, G.O, and Fatokun, S. (2004), commented that one of the greatest problems of the Nigerian economy is the problem of capacity utilization in the manufacturing sector.   This problem became more pronounced and aggravated by the structural adjustment programme and recently by globalization and all that accompanied it.   The deplorable conditions of the manufacturing sector are attributed to a horde of factors like lack of an enabling environment, which included policy and polity instability,  poor macro-economic environment,  poor legal environment which could not guarantee property right and safety, and lack of good governance.   Others are poor and inadequate infrastructure, poor implementation of incentives to manufacturing, including export incentives, low access to investible funds due to underdeveloped long-term capital market that match industrial projects needs.

Malik, A; Teal, F; and Baptist, S (2004), analyzed that manufacturing activity can only flourish in a good investment climate with the following features in place: physical infrastructure, financial markets and creation of the enabling environment for investment and determine the opportunities and incentives for firms to invest productively create job and expand business.  They identified three problems as major constraints to the development of the manufacturing industry: Infrastructural constraints, access to credit, and the broader macroeconomic conditions affecting the demand for goods produced by the manufacturing sector.

The Nigerian government has adopted several policies to attract FDI in this globalization era.  Especially, the government implemented IMF monitored liberation of its economy, invites foreign investors in the manufacturing sector. The nation’s economic policies that helped in attracting the foreign investment and foreign entrepreneurs to invest their resources in Nigeria includes tariff concession on the imported goods, especially on imported raw and input material for industrial use, policies on reduction of corporate tax, tax relief for research and development and policies on joint venture business.

Therefore, it is evident that if a host country like Nigeria creates a conducive and friendly macroeconomic environment for investors, FDI can play a crucial role in the manufacturing sector which will carve out potential benefits which include employment generation, promotion of citizen’s welfare and economic growth by providing additional capital to the host country, stabilizing exchange rate, supplementing domestic savings and transfer of modern technology.


1.2       STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The manufacturing sector in Nigeria is seen to be tied to foreign investments because of the purchase of capital equipment in other to facilitate growth and development process. This has been a success in Nigeria until the early 1980s, when oil market that was the major source of the nation’s foreign earnings collapsed due to fall in prices. As a result, there was a reduction of foreign investments gotten from the exportation of oil. This could not provide the necessary stimuli for the growth and development in the manufacturing sector (Akinmulegun & Oluwole, 2013).

Various policy measures by government in Nigeria have been adopted in other to rectify the problems associated with the country’s foreign earnings, but little was achieved. Among these policies include the Restrictive Monetary Policy, the Stabilization Measure of 1982 and the Stringent Measure of 1984, as well as the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) of 1986 whose aim was to reduce the high dependency of crude oil as a major foreign exchange earner by promoting non-oil exports especially the manufacturing products in the economy (Okoli & Agu, 2015). However, with the pursuant of these policies, Nigeria still recorded the second largest recipient of FDI inflows among low-income countries (CBN, 2010).

It is important to note that various factors are impeding the flow of FDI in the Nigerian economy, which has made other sectors mostly the manufacturing sector to suffer, as the level of productivity and performance seems to be very low and poor. These factors include: the present of social-political upheaval from some anti-social group/terrorists known as the “Boko-Haram Sect”, insufficient human capital skills, poor management of resources, weak or inadequate infrastructure, corruption, political instability, and poor technological base to support the growth of manufacturing activities and obsolete machinery and equipment (Opaluwa, et al, 2012; Okoli&Agu, 2015; Fabayo, 2003; Eboh, 2011; Nnanna, et al, 2004).

Therefore, in the light of the above, this study examines the effects of FDI on the Manufacturing Sector of Nigeria.
