KADUNA STATE PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS
This study sought to investigate the operation system of
some small-scale textile dyeing industries in Kaduna State.
This social enquiry investigated the nature of the industries
and sources of raw materials. It also sought to know the
significance of the industry to the people of Kaduna State and
the nation as a whole. The study also has social-economic
educational and cultural significance. It would set the blue
prints for the industrial development of Kaduna State. It
would also encourage self employment, preservation of cultural
heritage, indigenous skills and investment, utilisation of
local resources and contribution to the literature in this
subject.
A review of literature was done to show the contributions
made by some old masters. The study also looked into the
problems and prospects of small-scale textile dyeing industry
in the state.
At the end of the research it was observed that there
were some factors that contributed to the setback of smallscale
textile dyeing industry in Kaduna State. Suggestions
were made for improvement.
