Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This study examines the impact of industrialization in Nigeria, using Tuyil Pharmaceutical Industrial Limited, Ilorin, as a case study. It traces the evolution of the company from a modest chemist shop to a two-flat manufacturing facility and, ultimately, to a world-class industrial enterprise that employs over a thousand workers. The findings reveal that the industry contributes not only to economic development, poverty alleviation, infrastructural development, social intervention, and financial growth in Kwara State but also to the religious, informational, educational, and entertainment sectors of the state. Furthermore, the industry survived the unfavorable economic conditions that began in Nigeria in the 1980s while continuing to employ more workers, making it exceptional in the history of industrial development in Kwara State. The study adopts a historical methodology, relying on primary sources such as oral interviews and archival documents, as well as secondary sources including books, journal articles, and unpublished theses. The paper concludes with recommendations based on the findings.
