Abstract:	Today, the Nigerian economy is in the throes of a deepening crisis. Does the current economic crisis represent a major crisis of the Nigerian nation? Does a desirable resolution of the current economic crisis necessarily require a desirable reconstitution of the Nigerian nation? Seeking satisfactory answers to these questions may require a study of the logic of, and the mechanisms responsible for structural shifts in the Nigerian economy. Such a study is attempted here in the context of the accumulation process in the economy during the last decade: Part I. sketches models of accumulation as a general theoretical background to the study; Part II. attempts a quantitative analysis of the accumulation process; Part III. indicates the underlying class structure and policy implications of the process, and concludes the study.
