(2a)
(2b)
(PICK ANY FOUR)
(i) Diversity: Nigeria has a diverse range of industries spanning
sectors such as oil and gas, manufacturing, agriculture, services, and
more. This diversity contributes to the complexity of the country's
economic landscape.
(ii) Oil and Gas Dominance: The oil and gas industry plays a dominant
role in the Nigerian economy, accounting for a significant portion of
government revenue and export earnings. However, this dependence on oil
makes the economy vulnerable to fluctuations in global oil prices.
(iii) Agricultural Potential: Agriculture is a significant sector,
providing employment for a large portion of the population. The country
has vast agricultural potential with fertile land, but the sector faces
challenges such as inadequate infrastructure and modern farming
practices.
(iv) Informal Economy: A significant portion of economic activities in
Nigeria occurs in the informal sector, comprising small businesses,
street vendors, and informal services. This informal economy contributes
to employment but may face challenges related to regulation and
productivity.
(v) Infrastructure Challenges: Nigerian industries often grapple with
inadequate infrastructure, including unreliable power supply,
transportation bottlenecks, and limited access to credit. These
challenges can impact the efficiency and competitiveness of businesses.
(vi) Government Involvement: The government plays a substantial role in
the Nigerian economy, with policies and interventions impacting various
industries. Government initiatives aim to promote economic growth,
attract foreign investment, and address sector-specific challenges.

Internal trade involves the trade in goods within country while external
or international trade is the type of trade done between one country
and another.
(4b)
(PICK ANY TWO)
(i) Millet
(ii) Cattle
(iii) Sorghum
(iv) Cowpea
(4c)
(i) Differences in the production of certain goods. Goods produced in
the North are different from goods produce in the south, hence the need
to exchange goods
(ii) Efficient transportation. e.g road, railway, etc.
(iii) Use of the same currency
(iv) Favourable price attached to the commodities involved in internal trade
(4d)
(PICK ANY TWO)
(i) Long Distance: Nigeria's vast geographical size poses a challenge
for internal trade, especially when goods need to travel long distances
from the point of production to the point of sale. This leads to
increased transportation costs, longer delivery times, and challenges in
maintaining the quality of perishable goods during transit.
(ii) Language Barrier: Nigeria is a linguistically diverse country with
multiple ethnic groups, each having its own language. The language
barrier can impede effective communication and transactions between
traders from different regions who may speak different languages.
(iii) High Cost of Transportation: The high cost of transportation is a
significant hindrance to internal trade in Nigeria. Inadequate
transportation infrastructure, including poorly maintained roads and a
lack of efficient rail networks, contributes to higher transportation
costs.
(iv) Perishability of Products: Certain goods, especially agricultural
products, have a limited shelf life and are highly perishable. The
challenges of maintaining product freshness and quality become more
pronounced during long-distance transportation.

Seaport is located along coastlines and provide access to the sea or
ocean. It is suitable for handling large vessels and international
trade. Examples include Lagos Port Complex in Nigeria and Port of
Rotterdam in the Netherlands. On the other hand, River Port is located

accessing international markets due to the absence of coastline and
direct access to seaports.
(ii) Dependence on Neighboring Countries: Landlocked countries depend on
neighboring coastal nations for transportation of goods, which can lead
to issues such as transit delays and increased costs.
(iii) Infrastructure Challenges: Inadequate transportation
infrastructure, including roads and railways, can impede the efficient
movement of goods to and from landlocked countries.
(iv) Customs and Border Crossing Issues: Landlocked countries often deal
with delays and bureaucratic hurdles at border crossings, affecting the
smooth flow of goods.
(v) High Transport Costs: The reliance on neighboring countries for
transportation can result in higher transport costs, affecting the
competitiveness of landlocked nations in the global market.
(6c)
(PICK ANY FOUR)
(i) Infrastructure Challenges: Inadequate and underdeveloped airport
infrastructure in many tropical African countries hinders the growth of
air transport.
(ii) High Operating Costs: The cost of aviation fuel, maintenance, and
other operational expenses is often high, making air travel expensive
for both airlines and passengers.
(iii) Limited Connectivity: Limited air route networks and connectivity
between countries in tropical Africa limit the options available for air
travel.
(iv) Political Instability: Political instability and conflicts in some
regions of tropical Africa can disrupt air transport operations and
discourage investments in the aviation sector.
(v) Lack of Skilled Workforce: The shortage of skilled personnel,
including pilots, air traffic controllers, and maintenance technicians,
poses a challenge to the development of the aviation industry.
