Labour in Kano since the petroleum boom
Abstract
Since 1973, Nigeria has undergone a petroleum‐induced economic expansion that has generated economic and social changes in urban Kano and the region as a whole. This paper comments on the major changes experienced by Kano from 1972 to 1978. They concern the economy, state structure, rural‐urban relations, and most importantly, changes in the organization of the urban working class. Because the onset of the petroleum boom follows the author's research on the Adebo strikes of 1971–72, his article on worker consciousness in Kano (see Note at end) is used as a reference point from which economic and social change will be evaluated.
