For a country to be ideally independent, such country has to be self-sufficient. When a country has difficulty in producing what it consumes, then there is imbalance of trade and that will affect the per-capital income of the country.
Thus the need for “sustainable development”, an all embracing concept which calls for environmentally non-degrading, technically appropriate, economically viable and socially acceptable development, poses dramatic challenges to developing countries like Nigeria in terms of diversifying the economies, providing income and employment opportunities for their citizens. Population pressure and inequitable distribution of resources undermine efforts to feed the citizens.
