Abstract

Education is a vehicle through which a nation brings about her development. When effective and qualitative education is provided for the citizens, industrial development and vibrant economy is assured. When citizens are not educated the reverse is the case. In Nigeria, there are over 13million out- of –school children and adult illiteracy rate is on the increasing. This study therefore examines the implications of high rate of uneducated adults on industrial development in Nigeria. It also presents adult literacy programmes that can be re-branded to enhance industrial growth and development of the country. In conclusion the need to promote adult literacy and non-formal programmes as a means of improving industrialization were recommended.
