THE ROLE OF AGRICULTURE IN JOB CREATION FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA
Abstract
This paper , the role of Agriculture in job opportunity for national development in Nigeria is aim to determine if agriculture really create job opportunity and how it affect the Gross Domestic Product as a part of national development in Nigeria .Data was collected from abstract of Central Bank of Nigeria . Regression analysis is use to analyse the data. Result of the analysis show that there is strong positive correlation between the Gross Domestic Product and Agriculture sectors and also that 99.9% of the variation in Gross Domestic Product is explained by the relationship among the Agricultural sector..From the Analysis of Variance it was discovered that the overall regression is significant and that Agriculture have impact on creation of job opportunity and economic development . I thereby recommend that federal government should focus on policies that will favour mass upliftment of the rural area without discouraging the big time farmers. The researchers have come to realize that the promotion of agriculture at the grassroots would inevitably accelerate the development of cottage industries, and therefore provide the much required linkages to industrialization, having taken for granted availability of food sufficient for local consumption. Conclusively, this paper have been able to point out that the agricultural sector contributes meaningfully to national development which have a multiplier effect on human capital development, because it is often said that a ‘hungry man is an angry man’.
