Abstract

The study is using Ajaokuta steel project as a case study to focus on the following question as a guide towards the concrete examination of the influence of international politics in technology transfer and acquisition to the developing world like Nigeria:

Has the domination of the international steel sector by major steel companies (Nippon, Arcelormittal, US steel, Thyssenkrupp and Baosteel) negatively affected the execution of Ajaokuta steel project?

The general objective  of this study is to examine the Impact and implication of domination of the major international steel sector on the execution of Nigeria’s Ajaokuta steel project.

We adopt the Marxist political  economy approach through Marxist production analysis as a most suitable framework for the purpose of analyzing the politics of technology acquisition and the state of Nigeria’s Ajaokuta  steel  project.

Information for the analysis was gathered mainly through the documentary method of data collection while analysis was done using the content analysis aided by tables.

Our findings are as follows: Domination of international steel sector by the major steel companies, (Nippon, Arcelormittal, US steel, Thyssenkrupp and Baosteel) has negatively affected the execution of Ajaokuta steel project.

Also, Nigerian government should learn from the Asian escape by internally developing the necessary technological and organizational capabilities.

Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

Control of technology constitutes the cornerstone of the international power structure of the present time Celso Furtado (1983:7)

What monarchs and states men did in the past, how they fought their wars and which side won, was largely dependent on the state of their technology and that of their enemy.

Technology is all around us: we live in a world in which everything that exists can be classified as either a work of nature or a work of man. We are concerned in this study with the work of man which are based on iron and steel technology.

It is sobering thought that every man made object of practical utility has passed through the process of conception, design, construction, testing refinement, to be finally, brought to a serviceable state suitable for market (Ian Mcneil, 1990:3).

The history of technology can be said to be older than man himself, for the hominids that preceded homo erectus and homo sapiens were the first to use tools.

This ability was lead to the whole story of technology, for it made available a pair of forelimbs and hence  the ability to grasp sticks or stones and later to fashion them for particular purposes and sharpen them to a cutting edge (Derry, T.K, 1960:8).

Technology advancement has been one of the major determinants of civilization. The power status of any nation and the living standard of its people are totally dependent on its level of technological growth.

The technological disparity between the developed and developing countries of the world constitutes a very important issue of study today.
