ABSTRACT
This study attempts to document the history of industrial development in Gombe State Area from the period of incorporation of Ashaka Cement Company in 1974, to the end of the second civilian administration in Gombe State in 2011.In a bid to understand the forces behind the location, relocation and collapse of industries in Gombe State, the study adopted political economy perspectives. Using a historical method of inquiry, the study started by giving a background to industrial development in Gombe State by demonstrating ways through which the policies of the defunct Northern regional government of Nigeria, North Eastern State Government, and the old Bauchi State impacted on industrial development in Gombe State. The study reveals that, most of the industries in the state were (and still are) privately-owned and could be classified into Sunrise, Sunset and Eclipsed industries to refer to the emerging, grounded and relocated industries respectively. The study further demonstrate that, the slow pace nature of the industrial development in Gombe State led to the creation of employment, generation of revenue, environmental hazards and urbanization. However, the study argued that, the rapid urbanization in Gombe metropolis has more to do with trade, commerce, creation of the state and inception of democracy in 1999 than with industrial development. While some of the major challenges for industrial development in Gombe State were found out to be ambiguous industrial policy, weak agricultural sector, persistent budget deficits, lack of access to right type of finance as well infrastructural decay among others. Having discussed this, the study went further to identify some prerequisites for industrialization of Gombe State to include Strong Political leadership, robust agriculture, sound infrastructure, right incentives as well as stable and renewable sources of energy. It is only on this basis that, the triple industrial heritage of British colonial deindustrialization, Bauchi Industrial Marginalization and Post-2003 industrial Neglect would be contained in Gombe State.
