| Abstract | The economic stagnation signified by a trend of de-industrialization and agrarian predominance
on one side, and the unabated population growth on the other side are the two main
facets of an average Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) economy, indicative of the deprived living
conditions of citizens of the region. These longstanding and unpleasant socio-economic features
are happening in the era of globalization when SSA economies are exposed for fiercer
competition than any other time. Such tangled problems indicate the need for a research
attention to be deployed to identify the root causes of the problems and a practical/sustainable
remedial action to be enacted.
