Abstract
Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa and enormously endowed with huge mineral resources which if
properly harnessed can transform the country to one of the most economically developed countries in the world.
However, the formulation and implementation of development policies by successive governments in Nigeria,
had not resulted in the industrialization of the country and attainment of economic development. Descriptive and
inferential statistics were employed in analysis of data. The study found that entrepreneurship policies F(1,
133)=2.003, Adj.R2 = .007, P>0.05 have no significant effect on industrialization in Abia state. It also reveals
that entrepreneurship policies F(1, 120)=.082, Adj. R2=-.008, P>0.05 have no significant effect on
industrialization in Imo state. However, entrepreneurship policies F(1, 140)=30.062, Adj. R2 =.172, P<0>
found to have significant effect on industrialization in Anambra state. The study recommends among others that
effective implementation and constant monitoring entrepreneurship to ensure attainment of industrialization.
